Changes in rumen protozoal community by condensed tannin fractions of different molecular weights from a Leucaena leucocephala hybrid in vitro

Aims To evaluate the effects of condensed tannins (CTs) fractions of differing molecular weights (MWs) from a Leucaena leucocephala hybrid‐Rendang on the rumen protozoal community in vitro. Methods and Results The effects of unfractionated CTs (F0) and CT fractions of different MWs (F1 > F2 > ...

Description
Summary:Aims To evaluate the effects of condensed tannins (CTs) fractions of differing molecular weights (MWs) from a Leucaena leucocephala hybrid‐Rendang on the rumen protozoal community in vitro. Methods and Results The effects of unfractionated CTs (F0) and CT fractions of different MWs (F1 > F2 > F3 > F4 > F5) on protozoal population and community were evaluated in vitro using rumen microbes and ground guinea grass as the substrate. Higher‐MW CT fractions F1 and F2 significantly (P
