CYTOSINE AS A MARKER FOR MICROBIAL NITROGEN LEAVING THE RUMEN

Abstract
In vitro and in vivo studies were conducted to investigate the use of purine or pyrimidine bases as markers for rumen microbial nitrogen. The cytosine to microbial nitrogen ratio is a valid technique that has good accuracy and the advantage of minimal sample preparation. Key words: Rumen microbial protein, cytosine microbial marker
