Abstract
An in vitro procedure for estimating rates of ruminal protein degradation was extended to typical ruminant feedstuffs. Linear first-order degradation was obtained for protein concentrates. Degradation estimates were more variable for alfalfa forages which contained 21–51% degraded protein prior to incubation. Key words: Rumen, in vitro, protein degradationKeywords
