The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Assessing the evidence for latitudinal gradients in plant defence and herbivory (2011, background): “Furthermore, some compounds, such as tannins, have mixed effects on herbivores (e.g. Min et al. 2003; Barbehenn et al. 2009).”
Supplementation of Acacia mearnsii tannins decreases methanogenesis and urinary nitrogen in forage-fed sheep (2005, background): “2002) or remains unaffected (McNeill et al. 2000; Carulla et al. 2001; McSweeney et al. 2001; Min et al. 2003).”
Nutritive value of forage legumes used for grazing and silage (2009, background): “0; Jones and Mangan, 1977) and ruminal protein degradation is thus reduced (Frutos et al., 2004; Min et al., 2003), as is froth production.”
Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia): a beneficial forage legume (2011, background): “Absorption of essential amino acids increased by 62%, while milk, meat and wool yields, ovulation rate and lambing percentage all increased by 10–15% (Waghorn et al., 1990; Min et al., 2003; Waghorn, 2008).”
Increasing the concentrations of beneficial polyunsaturated fatty acids in milk produced by dairy cows in high-forage systems (2006, background): “In this case, the mechanism appears to be selective inhibition of several strains of Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens (Min et al., 2003), one of the most important biohydrogenating ruminal bacteria species.”
