Protein quality for ruminants

• However, microbial protein performance is limited by the supply of fermented energy.

For moderate and high production levels, the supply of microbial amino acids should be supplemented with dietary sources of protein or protected amino acids that can bypass rumen degradation.

The rate of digestion of feed, particularly fodder, and the rate of passage for rumen residues, are important factors which influence voluntary feed intake and productivity.

• Consequently, considerable emphasis is placed on maintaining optimal conditions in the rumen to maximize microbial growth and digestion.
