Extract

Sheep and goats browse c. 260 of leguminous species in Yucatán, Mexico (Flores Guido et al., 2003). Forage trees are a feed resource around the world. However its use is currently limited due to their content of antinutritional factors such as tannins and scarce data on their biological activity. The objective of the present work was to determine the biological activity (protein binding capacity) of condensed tannins extract from Leucaena leucocephala, Acacia pennatula, Lysiloma latisiliquum and Piscidia piscipula.
