摘要

Plant secondary metabolites (PSM) occur widely in the plants eaten by domestic livestock and wild herbivores and are the subject of much research by both animal scientists focussed on improving production, and ecologists interested in the evolution and functioning of natural ecosystems. Surprisingly there Is little cross-fertilization between these two research areas.In this paper we highlight some of the recent major themes in research on PSM and emphasise where animal science can learn from ecology and vice versa. Ecologists have tended to regard PSM as entirely negative, but there is good evidence of positive effects in ruminant herbivores from low concentrations of tannins and saponins. A major focus for ecologists has been the potential for a limited detoxification capacity to restrict diet choice and recent evidence has linked detoxification processes to diet mixing. For livestock, the major focus on detoxification has been on microbial transformations in the rumen and new techniques promise a better understanding of the potential for manipulating the rumen ecosystem for ameliorating the negative effects of ingested PSM. A major challenge for the future is in translating the results of laboratory studies to free-ranging animals. Field studies must take into account the frequency and spatial distributions of PSM and we should not expect there to be simple relationships between diet choices of animals and concentrations of these compounds.
