Extract

It is generally agreed that peptides accumulate in the rumen fluid after feeding. It has been also suggested that the production of peptides in the rumen was not altered by the protein supplements when diets provided similar effective rumen degradable protein (Mesgaran & Moosavi, 1999). The objective of the present experiment was to investigate the effect of diets containing lucerne hay or silage treated by urea and formaldehyde on the ruminal peptide and soluble protein N concentrations in Iranian Baloochi lambs.
