Chestnut tannin supplementation at ensiling: Effects on composition, degradability, and fermentation of forage silages

Tannins are plant secondary compounds capable of forming pH-dependent reversible bonds with proteins, thereby reducing protein degradation in the silo and rumen. This study evaluated the effect of adding chestnut hydrolysable tannin (HYT) at ensiling on the chemical composition, protein degradabili...
