Physico-chemical, mechanical and histological characteristics on rumen and reticulum of sheep submitted to different techniques of retanning

The objective was to evaluate the physicochemical, mechanical and histological characteristics on rumen and reticulum of sheep submitted to different retanning techniques. Twenty rumens and reticulum were tanned with chrome and retanned with different tannins (Treatment1 = chrome; Treatment2 = vegetable; Treatment3 = synthetic and Treatment4 = vegetable + synthetic). Tanned samples of rumens and reticulum were extracted to evaluate the...
