presents exhaustive coverage of amino acids in the nutrition, metabolism and health of …

New laboratory and animal sampling methods and data have been generated over the last
10 yr that had the potential to improve the predictions for energy, protein, and AA supply and …

The extensive development of the ruminant forestomach sets apart their N economy from

son digeridos mediante un proceso de ferme ntación realizado por los microorganismos …

Rumen microbes produce cellular protein inefficiently partly because they do not direct all
ATP toward growth. They direct some ATP toward maintenance functions, as long …

The rumen, or more appropriately the reticulo-rumen, is a large chamber (50–100 l capacity
in adult cattle) in which the ingested feed is first subjected to microbial digestion. The rumen …
