In situation of scant feed resources tree foliages can be the important source of forages to ruminants but the presence of deleterious compounds such as phenols can affect their utilization. It is found that there are no significant effects of soil types and seasons on DM, OM and CP contents in Albizia procera. Total phenols and total tannins contents is significantly varied between foliages grown in dry and wet seasons. Foliages grown in dry season contained high level of all types of phenols than that of wet season. Amelioration process for detanninification using polyethylene glycol (PEG),...
