The apparent digestibility of crude protein by the ruminant: III. The application of the general equation to rations containing urea
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Extract
The digestibility of the crude-protein equivalent (N × 6·25) of rations containing urea conforms with the general equation, y = 70 log x − 15, correlating the dry-matter crude-protein content (x) with its coefficient of digestibility (y), irrespective of whether the urea nitrogen is absorbed as ammonium salts or converted to microbial protein prior to digestion.
