Effect of dietary tannin supplementation on cow milk quality in two different grazing seasons
Abstract Extensive farming systems are characterized by seasons with different diet quality along the year, as pasture availability is strictly depending on climatic conditions. A number of problems for cattle may occur in each season. Tannins are natural polyphenolic compounds that can be integrate...
