Biotechnological Advances and Challenges of Tannase: An Overview (2012, positive): “Ruminal microorganisms provide a protective mechanism against the toxic and anti-nutritional effects of tannins, but high concentration of certain polyphenols could inhibit microbial growth (McSweeney et al. 2001).”
Effect of plant extracts on in vitro methanogenesis, enzyme activities and fermentation of feed in rumen liquor of buffalo (2006, background): “Tannins have been implicated for their inhibitory effect on feed digestion, microbial population and enzymes activity in many experiments (Bae et al., 1993; Jones et al., 1994; Makkar et al., 1995; McSweeney et al., 2001; Hristov et al., 2003).”
Beneficial and detrimental effects of dietary condensed tannins for sustainable sheep and goat production—Progress and challenges (2008, background): “Min et al. (2005) reported a greater affinity between CT and bacterial cells than with plant proteins, and cellulolytic bacteria were affected more than cellulolytic fungi (McSweeney et al., 2001).”
Integrating woody species into livestock feeding in the Mediterranean areas of Europe (2008, background): “Negative effects of tannins are related to their tendency to form complexes with dietary proteins, carbohydrates and minerals (McSweeney et al., 2001).”
