Condensed tannins (CT) exhibit nutritional, environmental and veterinary benefits in ruminant production. It is known that effects of CT on animal nutrition is multi-factorial, but their molecular weight (MW) and/or chemical structures play a key role in their biological activity. The average MW of...
