Abstract:
Effects of diet on amino acid (AA) composition of duodenal contents were tested in high-yielding dairy cows. For the same non-ammonia nitrogen flow (491 g/d) hay diet gave higher contents in lysine, valine and leucine than maize silage diet. To predict such differences, an attempt is made to estimate duodenal AA content from the AA content of dietary or "by pass" proteins and from recent data on protein digestion.
