Extract

The sulphur and pyridoxine are necessary for synthesis of total sulphur amino acids by ruminal bacteria and required for optimizing growth of ruminal microorganisms. For example, Caneiro et al (2000) reported the concentration of total sulphur amino acids in rumen bacterial DM changed quadratically (p<0.08) as dietary S increased. NRC (1985) suggested an N:S requirement of 10:1 for ruminants. Low dietary S concentration can also depress microbial protein synthesis (Kandylis, 1984). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary sulphur and pyridoxine level on microbial protein synthesis in Ghezel male lambs on the in vivo condition.
