Abstract:
Canola meal (CM) proteins are extensively degraded in the rumen. Various physical and chemical treatments have been used to alter the rate of ruminal degradation of CM protein, thus decreasing rumen protein degradability and increasing the content of metabolizable protein. To our knowledge, little information is available concerning the effect of microwave treatment on the type of CM proteins that leaves the rumen undegraded. The main objective of our research was to evaluate the degradation of untreated and microwave treated CM proteins by using sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel elec

A ruminant animal is largely dependent upon microbial protein synthesized within the reticulorumen for amino acids to meet its requirements for maintenance and production. The major precursor for rumen microbial protein synthesis is ammonia arising both from degradation of feed proteins within the rumen and from nitrogen recycled to the rumen. The concentration of rumen ammonia-N required to sustain maximal rates of microbial protein synthesis in vivo has been variably reported to range from 22 to 235 mg ammonia-N/1 rumen fluid (Miller, 1982).

A major problem with grass is that during ensilage the proteins are degraded and nitrogen lost as non protein nitrogen. In the animal a disadvantage of grass silage is that the proteinaceous nitrogen is readily degraded in the rumen to ammonia.

RT-PCR of bovine mRNA revealed the presence of two UT-B splice variants, bUT-B1 and bUT-B2, with bUT-B2 the predominant variant in rumen.

Abstract:
Inadequate nutrition is the main cause of low productivity by ruminants in sub-Saharan Africa. The primary feed resources in the region include natural pasture and crop residues that have tough texture, poor digestibility and are deficient in nutrients. These deficiencies can be corrected by supplementation with high-density feeds such as oilseed cakes and proteins of animal origin. However, protein sources such as oilseed cakes are beyond the economic reach of most farmers, while the incidence of bovine spongiform encephalopathy in Western intensive animal production may be thought to argue a

Abstract:
During steam treatment of lignocellulosic materials lignin is depolymerised (Zahedifar, 1996) to lower molecular weight phenolic compounds. Those phenolics may have protein precipitating capacity (PPC) due to bearing some hydroxyl groups on their molecule (Kawamoto et al, 1992) as do some other phenolics like tannins. Protein precipitating capacity of tannins may have a positive effect in ruminants by protecting proteins from microbial degradation in the rumen. The aim of this study was to assess the PPC of the phenolic compounds extracted from steam-treated wheat straw (STWS) and possible use

Abstract:
The microbial populations of the rumen are widely recognised as being essential for ruminant nutrition and health, utilising and breaking down fibrous plant material which would otherwise be indigestible. The dense and highly diverse viral populations which co-exist with these microbial populations are less understood, despite their potential impacts on microbial lysis and gene transfer. In recent years, studies using metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and proteomics have provided new insights into the types of viruses present in the rumen and the proteins they produce.

The scaB gene was completely sequenced, and its upstream neighbor scaAwas partially sequenced. The sequenced portion of scaAcontains repeating cohesin modules and a C-terminal dockerin domain.

Protein degradation in the rumen determines the supply of dietary nitrogen (N) to microbes and undegraded amino acids for direct absorption. The current systems of feeding ruminants identify rumen degradable protein (RDP) from undegraded protein (UDP) which is digestible post ruminally (Agricultural and Food Research Council (AFRC), 1992; Huntington and Givens 1995). The in sacco method has been useful to estimate RDP, UDP and rate of degradation of proteins in ruminants. However, its use is constrained by the fact that it requires surgically modified animals, is laborious, inconsistent and do
