Abstract

One of the most significant developments in ruminant nutrition in recent years has been that of learning to manipulate diets for more effective digestion and production. One of these techniques has been to bypass the rumen when digestion of protein or lipid is not desirable at this site. By bypass we mean that proteins and/or lipids pass through the reticlo-rumen without being affected by rumen microbes and without altering normal bio-chemical processes in the rumen.
