Project description
REsearch will focus on the impact of tannins on gut mineral bioavailability. For this, concentrations of tannins and minerals throughout the gut will be measured, especially the release of minerals from tannins. The latter will be assessed for both browsers and grazers. Finally the impact of dietary treatments with polyehtyleneglycol, proline and ash on gut mineral bioavailability will be studied.
