  • Inhibition of ruminal urease
    Brent, B.E.; Adepoju, A.; Portela, F.; Richardson, D. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1968)
    Rumen bacteria elaborate an enzyme, urease. Urease is capable of breaking down urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide. Rumen bacteria then incorporate the ammonia into new amino acids and bacterial protein. Thus, urea can ...
  • Protein synthesis in the rumen: Ruminal urease inhibition by acetohydroxamic acid
    Adepoju, A.; Portela, F.; Brent, B.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1969)
    When urea is fed to ruminants, it is immediately converted to ammonia by an enzyme, urease. The ammonia usually becomes available faster than rumen bacteria can convert it to protein. Studies were reported last year ...
