Abstract
Degradation of protein by rumen microbes maintained in continuous culture was reduced when soybean meal was pelleted with calcium lignosulfonate. Ammonia nitrogen concentration in fermenter effluent decreased with lignosulfonate treatment which was consistent with an observed decrease in true organic matter digestion, volatile fatty acid production and cellulose digestion. Key words: Protein degradation, rumen, bacteria, lignosulfonateKeywords
