<br/><br/> This study was conducted to demonstrate some problems in fiber determination of a tannin - rich forages and the fate of anti-nutritive factors (ANF's) total tannins, condensed tannins (CT), alkaloids, flavonoids and oxalates and their implications for in vivo studies. Forages from 6 shrub species were used to demonstrale complexation of tannin with fiber and protein through feeding of these shrubs to 24 Barki sheep. Feed and fecal samples were analysed by using a separate sample for neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid deteIgent fiber (ADF) determinations.
