Plant secondary compounds in ruminant feeding: implication and effect on meat fatty acid.
La FAO prevede che entro il 2050 si debbano sfamare 9.1 miliardi di persone. La sfida per l agricoltura è quella di aumentare le produzioni rispettando la qualità dei prodotti e le risorse naturali. Secondo la WHO, le carni rosse possono favorire l insorgenza di malattie cardiovascolari e del …

Plant secondary compounds in small ruminant feeding in stall-fed and pastoral system in the Mediterranean
… feed resources containing higher amounts of Plant Secondary compounds (PSCs) than usual forages and concentrates. PSCs are present in agroindutrial by products and in the natural vegetation of rangelands in the Mediterranean area. They are often associated with anti-nutritive properties such …

Adaptations to Furanocoumarins of Pastinaca Sativa by Depressaria Pastinacella (Lepidoptera: Oecophoridae)
Furanocoumarins are plant secondary compounds toxic to a wide variety of organisms. In the wild parsnip, Pastinaca sativa (Umbelliferae), these compounds are most concentrated in the floral parts. Despite these allelochemicals, the parsnip webworm, Depressaria pastinacella (Lepidoptera: …

Cyanogenesis and the feeding preference of Acraea horta (L.) (Lepidoptera : Acraeinae)
The statement that similar sorts of plants often have similar medicinal properties (Le. contain similar chemicals) is at least 300 years old, while the concept probably dates back several thousand years (Stace, 1980). Indeed, a knowledge of the secondary chemicals produced by different plant …

The effect of condensed tannins on goats’ body weight
Tannins are one of the most common plant secondary compounds. Amongst the tannins are condensed tannins (CT), which occur nearly in every plant species browsed by goats. Condensed tannins have a potential to bind proteins, reduce the feed intake and consequently reduce the body weight gain of …

The Ecology and Evolution of the Folivore Gut Microbiome in Madagascar’s Lemurs
… host nutrition via metabolizing recalcitrant plant fibers into nutrients and degrading plant secondary compounds. A current aim within GMB research is to determine the evolutionary and ecological mechanisms that regulate the folivore GMB, which could be profitably addressed using comparative …

A snapshot of color: Exploring the ecological and genetic basis of color variation in the Neotropical tortoise beetle, Chelymorpha alternans (chrysomelidae:cassidinae)
… they may differ in their ability to sequester plant secondary compounds, potentially explaining the observed differences in predator response toward different phenotypes.

Primate nutritional ecology: the role of food selection, energy intake, and nutrient balancing in Mexican black howler monkey (Alouatta pigra) foraging strategies
… digest or high fiber foods that also may contain plant secondary compounds, howlers are considered energy-limited. While howler monkeys do consume a leaf-heavy diet during certain seasons of the year, and possess certain anatomical and physiological traits such as a capacious colon where …
