Proceedings... Medlothian: BSAS, 2002. p. 132.c2002  aRuminal adaptive mechanisms may not be adequate to deal with the antinutritive effects of all tannins present thus tannin inactivation might still be necessary to ensure maximum utilization of tanniniferous protein supplements. Longer adaptation periods (&gt25days) may be required to allow the rumen microbial population to become fully adapted to dietary tannins. In vivo trials are required to further investigate these findings since other adaptive mechanisms may be complimenting ruminal responses.  aGoats1 aMOULD, F.
