ABSTRACT
Tannins are water-soluble polyphenols with anti-nutritional properties
but when supplemented at a low dose to the diets may exhibit positive
effect on ruminants. Owing to great group diversity, tannins demonstrate various
biological activities. They form complexes with nutrients and so they are
enable to affect digestion processes. Thus, the aim of the study was to examine
the effect of two types of tannins on sheep pancreatic enzymes activity.
In the experiment 6 ewe of the Coloured Merino breed, fitted with catheters
to the common pancreatic-biliary duct and simple cannula to the duodenum
were used. Sheep were divided into 3 feeding groups for crossover design
(n = 2), and fed control diet (CON) and two experimental diets with dried lingonberry
leaves (VVI) or oak cortex (QUE) in a dose of 3 g ∙ d–1, as a source
of condensed and hydrolysable tannins, respectively. Non-significant effect of
tannins on pancreatic-biliary juice secretion and its protein concentration was
observed. In sheep fed diets with QUE addition lipase activity was increased in
comparison to animals receiving VVI. An upward trend in amylase and trypsin
activity after tannins addition was also found. Enriching sheep diets with additives
containing tannins slightly stimulated pancreas exocrine activity. However,
the inhibitory effects of tannins on endogenous protein activity, similar to the
digestive enzymes inhibitors action, cannot be excluded. So, further studies
on precise defining the mechanism of tannins action on enzymes activity and
digestion process in ruminants are necessary.
