Journal ArticleDOI
Gravimetric determination of tannins and their correlations with chemical and protein precipitation methods
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for gravimetric determination of tannins based on binding with insoluble polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomass use, production, feed efficiencies, and greenhouse gas emissions from global livestock systems

TL;DR: This report presents a unique, biologically consistent, spatially disaggregated global livestock dataset containing information on biomass use, production, feed efficiency, excretion, and greenhouse gas emissions for 28 regions, 4 animal species, and 3 livestock products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of complexes between polyvinyl pyrrolidones or polyethylene glycols and tannins, and their implication in gas production and true digestibility in in vitro techniques
TL;DR: The increase in gas production was associated with higher production of short-chain fatty acids with little change in their molar proportions, suggesting an increase in organic matter digestibility by inclusion of the PEG in tannin-rich feeds.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro gas measuring techniques for assessment of nutritional quality of feeds: a review
TL;DR: A review of the available in vitro gas measuring techniques used for feed evaluation with emphasis on assessing their relative advantages and disadvantages is given in this article, where the authors highlight the potential of gas techniques for tackling some interesting areas of research.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro gas production: a technique revisited
TL;DR: In this article, the stochastic relationship between gas volumes and short chain fatty acid (SCFA) production has been exemplified for an in vitro gas test based on the bicarbonate buffer.
