	abstract = {The distribution of condensed tannins (CT) in plants, their mode  of action and benefits to ruminant nutrition are briefly reviewed. Data  are presented showing the CT in lotus species reduced rumen degradation  of protein and increased its flow to the intestine, but an increased  amino acid absorption only occurred with Lotus corniculatus,  suggesting the CT in Lotus pedunculatus prevented enzymic  hydrolysis of the protected protein. The extent to which CT in Lotus  pendunculatus depressed nitrogen (N) digestion was similar when fed  as a sole diet and when fed as a third of the diet with pasture. The  implications of these results are that both concentration and type of CT  are important in affecting nutritive value, and that these factors need  to be resolved before an effective plant selection program can be  undertaken.  },
