Nutritive value of forage legumes used for grazing and silage (2009, background): “Condensed tannin mediated CH4 suppression is source dependent with Schinopis quebracho CT failing to reduce CH4 emissions in cattle (Beauchemin et al., 2007), whilst several other sources reduced CH4 emissions (Hayler, Steingass and Drochner, 1998; Carulla et al., 2005).”
In vitro fermentation patterns and methane production of sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) hay with different condensed tannin contents (2011, background): “A decrease in CH4 emission has been reported for ruminants consuming CT-containing forage (Patra et al., 2005; Wang et al., 2007) or when a supplemental CT extract was added to a forage-based diet (Carulla et al., 2005).”
Beneficial and detrimental effects of dietary condensed tannins for sustainable sheep and goat production—Progress and challenges (2008, methodology): “A similar reduction was demonstrated by addition of CT from Black Wattle (Acacia mearnsii) given to sheep (Carulla et al., 2005) and Puchala et al.”
