Chemical Manipulation of Rumen Metabolism.

  • Chapter
Physiological and Pharmacological Aspects of the Reticulo-Rumen

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science ((CTVM,volume 41))

Abstract

Ruminant feed is exposed to fermentative digestion by the rumen microbial population before hydrolytic digestion by animal enzymes can occur. Total digestion may be optimized by adjusting the proportion of feed fermented in the rumen to that escaping fermentation and hydrolyzed by animal enzymes. Essentially, feed components that can be hydrolyzed in the animal (true protein, starch) should be protected from rumen fermentation whereas components not available to animal enzymes (plant cell walls and non-protein N) should be brought into an optimal fermentation. It should be realized however that optimal fermentation of the latter components may require fermentation of the former for provision of energy (e.g. starch with urea) or growth factors (e.g. branched chain fatty acids with crude fibre).
