[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 875986, member: 12607"] "Ever wondered why acorns "can" kill cattle yet make deer fat?" I touched on this earlier in the thread. Browsing species, like deer and goats, as well as squirrels, voles, mice, etc., have large parotid salivary glands that produce proline-rich salivary proteins(PRSPs) which bind and inactivate tannins. Cattle and sheep, being principally grazers, do not produce these PRSPs in any significant amount Additionally, these animals, by virtue of the things that they consume also have well-established populations of forestomach/intestinal bacteria that have very active tannase enzymes.
