Methane production from in vitro rumen incubations with Lotus pedunculatus and Medicago sativa, and effects of extractable condensed tannin fractions on methanogenesis (2005, background): “Supplementation of a tropical grass diet with forage legumes and Sapindus saponaria fruits effected in vitro ruminal N turnover, and reduced methanogenesis (Hess et al., 2003).”
Strategic use of tannins as means to limit methane emission from ruminant livestock (2006, background): “Similarly, previous own in vitro experiments [3] presented indirect evidence that tannins, prevalent in the tropical shrub legume Calliandra calothyrsus, might be responsible for the methane production to be lower than with an unsupplemented low-quality grass diet and especially than with diets supp”
Saponin rich tropical fruits affect fermentation and methanogenesis in faunated and defaunated rumen fluid (2003, background): “Hess et al. / Animal Feed Science and Technology 109 (2003) 79–94”
Potential of phytofactors to mitigate rumen ammonia and methane production. (2010, background): “…schidigera, Sapindus saponaria, Frangula alnus, Sapindus rarak, indicate a possibility of the effect of these compounds on the process of methanogenesis in the rumen (Ningrat et al., 2002; Śliwiński et al., 2002a; Hess et al., 2003, 2004; García-González et al., 2008, 2010; Wang et al., 2009).”
