| Abstract: | Abstract: Sheep, cattle and goat are domestic ruminants of significant economic interest in
the Mediterranean region. Although sharing the same pasture ranges, they ingest different
plants and plant parts and, consequently different levels of tannins. This suggests an ability
to detect and adapt ingestion according to animal physiological limits of tolerance for plant
secondary metabolites. This review will detail the effects of dietary tannins on feeding
behavior, and the role of the oral cavity in this process, with focus on such ruminant species. The role of salivary protein profile in tannin perception in the oral cavity, and as a
defense mechanism, will be discussed. |
