Sources of nonprotein-nitrogen as a substitute for protein in ruminant rations

Richardson, D.; Smith, E.F.; Perry, H.B.; Dunn, L.L.; Harbers, L.H.

Americans consume large quantities of meat. An increasing population will demand more production to maintain present consumption rates. Protein is an essential nutrient for all animals. The simple-stomached animals (pigs, chickens, dogs, human beings, etc.) can utilize only natural protein, whereas ruminant animals can use nonprotein-nitrogen as a source of ammonia to produce microbial protein in the rumen. This project was to evaluate various ammoniated phosphates in ruminant rations.
