FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions

What are natural polyphenols?

Polyphenols are organic compounds found mainly in plants and fruits, which have the function of protecting them against insects, ultraviolet radiation and microbial infections.

Tannins are polyphenols of plant origin, with molecular weights generally between 500 and 3000 atomic mass units. They are classified as hydrolysable or condensable, according to their carbon skeleton.

Because they act to improve the health and performance of animals through their interactive properties with dietary compounds. In addition, as it is a natural source, it does not pose a risk to animal and human health.

Os taninos têm a capacidade de formar ligações com proteínas, o que aumenta a eficiência alimentar das dietas dos animais, impactando positivamente a saúde animal.

Um exemplo da ação dos taninos na nutrição animal é na alimentação de rebanhos. Nesses casos, quando os taninos são usados na dosagem adequada, eles protegem a proteína animal no rúmen, o que possibilita que ela passe para o intestino delgado, melhorando a conversão alimentar.

Yea! They are compounds that have high antioxidant action, acting in the capture and blocking of free radicals, reducing or preventing their action in the animal body.

No! Tannins bring a wide benefit to animal nutrition, but these benefits are only achieved when the source of origin is known and when provided in adequate dosages. In this way, they provide improvements in health and performance, without interference from consumption and palatability.

Tannins are used as an additive for animal feed, supplements, cores and premixes. The dosages vary according to the different species, and can be used for ruminants and non-ruminants.
