    Abstract:
    It has been suggested that the anthelmintic (AH) activity of tannin-rich forages is related to their tannin content. However, reports on tropical fodders such as Lysiloma latisiliquum describe the same AH activity after the addition of tannin-blocking agents, suggesting that the activity either depends on the method of tannin blocking/removal or is due to other type of secondary metabolites. This study compared both the effect of the drying process of the plant material and the effect of different polyphenol removal methods on the AH activity of L. latisiliquum acetone-water extracts when tested against Haemonchus contortus. The results showed that the extraction of oven-dried (OD) leaves of L. latisiliquum yielded a CT-free extract with high AH activity. However, polyphenol-free fractions showed similar or lower AH activity levels as of those original OD extract. HPLC analysis confirmed that common polyphenolic metabolites are not responsible for the AH activity of L. latisiliquum.
