As corn is a low protein high energy feedstuff, its continued use even with high prices or concern over its partial replacement is mainly confined to rations for lactating cows where meeting the energy requirements of milk production is impor...

A survey of the proteolytic bacteria present in the rumens of sheep on different kinds of diets has been made, with special emphasis on the isolation of anaerobic types. The results suggest that proteolytic activity is not confined to a single kind of rumen bacterium, but that it is a variable property possessed by strains of many kinds of bacteria which can be active in the breakdown of other ...

Corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), once considered a by-product of fuel ethanol production, are a recognized feedstuff for livestock animals. Today, DDGS is attracting increasing attention and is manufactured under quality-controlled conditions as a main product for livestock feed. DDGS is also expected to be beneficial to the livestock industry, because recent research projects...

Lysine is an important indispensable amino acid, and describing the lysine content of a food or feedstuff provides useful information about nutritional value. However, when a food or feedstuff is subjected to heating the lysine present can be altered to nutritionally unavailable derivatives. These derivatives can revert back to lysine during the acid hydrolysis step used in amino acid analysis ...
