Condensed tannins: A factor limiting the use of cassava forage

Reed, Jess D., McDowell, Rober T. E., van Soest, Peter J., Horvath, Pete R. J.·1982·Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture

Abstract

Cassava (Manihot esculenta, Crantz), an important tropical root crop, is considered to have a good potential for use as a forage because leaf blades generally contain <20% crude protein (CP). However, neutral‐detergent fibre (NDF) obtained from cassava leaf blades contains condensed tannins (CTs) and high levels of CP. The amount of CP in the NDF that is insoluble when treated with pepsin or protease is highly correlated with the amount of CTs in the NDF. CTs in the NDF are rich in prodelphinidin. CTs may be an important factor limiting the nutritive value of cassava forage.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
