A factorial experiment was conducted to study the effects of condensed tannins (CT) from the tropical legumes Desmodium intortum and Calliandra calothyrsus on the digestion and utilization of protein and carbohydrate in sheep and goats. CT-free Centrosema pubescens was also fed for comparison with
CasuL is a lectin (carbohydrate-binding protein) isolated from the leaf pinnulae of Calliandra surinamensis that is toxic against cancer cells. In this study, the effects of CasuL on the activation of immune cells were evaluated in BALB/c mice splenocytes. Assays measuring the changes in cytosolic
Tannins in forages complex with protein and reduce the availability of nitrogen to ruminants. Ruminal bacteria that ferment protein or peptides in the presence of tannins may benefit digestion of these diets. Bacteria from the rumina of sheep and goats fed Calliandra calothyrsus (3.6% N and 6%
The CP05 saponin from Calliandra pulcherrima Benth, shows remarkable similarities to the QS21 saponin of Quillaja saponaria Molina. Both shared a monoterpene hydrophobic moiety, a glycidic chain attached to the triterpene C28, and three sugars attached to C3. Different from QS21, the CP05 does not
