Abstract
In ruminants a dynamic state of protein turn-over has been poorly understood although the methodology of measuring the rate of protein turn-over has recently been advanced to a great extent (Waterlow, Garlick and Millward, 1978). Available evidence suggests that ruminants such as sheep and cows are no exception among various mammalian species when whole-body protein synthesis of adult animals is compared on a metabolic body-weight basis (Waterlow et al., 1978; Reeds and Lobley, 1980).Keywords
