In vitro effects of different levels of quebracho and chestnut tannins on rumen methane production, fermentation parameters, and microbiota

Both condensed and hydrolysable tannins (CTs and HTs, respectively) have the ability to reduce enteric CH4 production in ruminants. However, the precise mechanism of action is not fully understood. Among the proposed hypotheses are the reduction of ruminal digestibility, direct control action on pro...
