[QUOTE="brandonm_13, post: 690309, member: 7875"] The big problem with tannins are just like dewormers. Goat producers know that forages that contain tanins kill parasites, but too much could be detrimental to the goat's health. Commercial dewormers are toxic. But at the correct dosage, it only kills the parasites. At much higher dosages, it could kill whatever you are trying to cure. Personally I think this is all moot. It I had access to acorns, and had it fenced in for cattle, I would make it hog-proof and let them in first. I mean, have you seen how much acorn-finished pork sells for??? In some fancy-smancy restaurants where they eat snails and raw stuff, it can sell for up to a couple hunred a pound. That's more profitable than cattle. :nod: [/QUOTE]
