STUDIES ON TANNIN CONTENTS OF LOCALLY AVAILABLE TREE LEAVES COMMONLY FED TO GOATS IN KERALA

Fourteen different locally available tree leaves, commonly fed to goats were analysed for their chemical composition, total tannins, condensed and hydrolysable tannins. The different tree leaves studied are found to be higher in dry matter, crude protein and calcium but lower in crude fibre and phos...

The different tree leaves studied are found to be higher in dry matter, crude protein and calcium but lower in crude fibre and phosphorus when compared to the common grass fodders. The total tannin content in the different leaves ranged from 2.6 to 7.8 per cent on dry matter basis with condensed tannins predominating in majority of the fodders. https://www.jvas.in/public_html/upload/article_file/article_file_qyflb1.pdf?t=qyflb1
