Popis: In vitro studies demonstrated that cell-free ruminal fluid inhibits the saponin-based hemolytic activity of yucca extract, and that the inhibitory factor isolatable with the protein fraction of ruminal fluid is not heat labile. Hemolysis assay is not reliable for assessing saponin activity in ruminant nutrition applications. Key words: Yucca extract, ruminal fluid, hemolysis, saponins
