Abstract

Utilization in ruminant diets of Cistus ladanifer (a shrub native from Mediterranean region) or its condensed tannin (CT) extracts has been intensively explored in the last years, with a wide range of studies that have provided valuable information on conditions of use, benefits and action mechanisms. Although it is considered as a feed with poor nutritional value, C. ladanifer can be used as component or as a source of bioactive compounds for ruminant diets in order to modulate the rumen metabolism and oxidative stability of animal products. Cistus ladanifer has been shown to be a good approach to improve the nutritional value of ruminant products, promoting the increase of healthy fatty acids content, which appear to be mainly due to ability of their CT to modulate ruminal biohydrogenation. On the other hand, incorporation of C. ladanifer in ruminant diets can also limits the lipid oxidation of meat, even in meat more susceptible to oxidation. Application of C. ladanifer CT extracts to silage has been shown to be effective in reducing the proteolysis, improving the silage nutritional value. Moreover, the treatment of dietary protein source with C. ladanifer CT extract also reduce the protein rumen degradability, allowing reduce the protein level in ruminant diets without compromise the animal performance.
