Extract

Synchronisation between the rates of energy and nitrogen supply to the rumen microbes is considered important in terms of maximising the amount and efficiency of rumen microbial protein synthesis (Chamberlain and Choung, 1995). As part of a research programme examining the effects of diets which have been formulated to be asynchronous or synchronous with respect to the potential hourly supply of energy and nitrogen to the microbial fraction on gastro-intestinal tract metabolism, this study reports on the effects of these diets on rumen function, assessed in vitro, using Rumen Simulated Continuous Culture (RSCC).
