The effect of plant species containing tannins on the tenacity of Cl. perfringens was elucidated. Trials were purchased in physiological saline solution and in a rumen-fluid-medium under anaerobic conditions. The results obtained show, that within minutes the tenacity of Cl. perfringens can be reduced by some of the tested plant material not only in physiological saline solution but also in a rumen-fluid-medium. The results indicate that the reaction of some vegetable tannins and Clostridium perfringens germs is a specific one and could be used in controlling diseases caused by Clostridium perfringens.
