Extract

In modern protein evaluation systems the protein unit (PU) of a feedstuff and the requirement of PU is expressed as true protein assumed to be absorbed from the small intestine. Total PU supply originates from feed protein escaping rumen degradation and from microbial protein synthesised in the rumen. Escape feed PU is calculated from crude protein (CP) multiplied by the escape CP fraction, amino acid content of escape CP and small intestinal digestibility of escape amino acids. Microbial PU is calculated from the energy source for microbial growth multiplied by the efficiency by which this energy is used for microbial CP synthesis, amino acid content of microbial CP and the digestibility in the small intestine of microbial amino acids.
