Intestinal Protein Digestion & Amino Acid Utilization in the Ruminant Ruminology-3--Utilization of Absorbed Protein
Intestinal Protein Digestion • The “Black Hole” of Ruminant Protein Nutrition. • Of Considerable Practical Importance. • Red Clover • Rumen-Protected Proteins • Measurement of Intestinal Protein Digestion. • Mobile Bag Technique • Pepsin-Pancreatin In Vitro Techniques • Dual-Cannulation of Intestine (Proximal Duodenum & Terminal Ileum) • Maintaining Dual Intestinally Cannulated Animals is Problematic. • “Good” Data are Badly Needed. Ruminology-3--Utilization of Absorbed Protein
Utilization of Red Clover CP • NPN in Red Clover Silage Markedly Lower than Grass or Alfalfa Silages • Reduced Proteolysis in Silo due to Polyphenol Oxidase (PPO) Activity in Red Clover Ruminology-3--Utilization of Absorbed Protein
Efficiency of N Utilization of RC and grass silages in the Rumen(Data from Finnish (MTT) omasal sampling studies) • Ruminal N-Efficiency of Red Clover Better than Grass Silages • Zero N balance at 168 g vs. 136 g CP/kg DM • Lower Ruminal Ammonia at Same Dietary CP Content • Reduced Protein Degradation • Improved Microbial Synthesis Ruminology-3--Utilization of Absorbed Protein
Replacing Grass Silage with Red Clover Silage & NAN Flow and Protein Yield • Increased N Intake with Replacement of Grass by Red Clover Increased NAN Flow • But Increased Protein Flow Did Not Increase Milk Protein Yield • WHY? Ruminology-3--Utilization of Absorbed Protein
Fecal CP higher for RC (MTT data) • Intercept of Lucas Test More Negative for Red Clover (RC) vs. Perenial Rye Grass (PG grass); • Fecal CP/kg DMI ~16 g Higher (RC) • “CP Digestibility Lower for RC” • (Pekka Huhtanen) • or • Impaired Utilization of Absorbed AA • (Glen Broderick) • PPO Depresses Protein Utilization as well as Rumen Degradation Ruminology-3--Utilization of Absorbed Protein
