Extract

1. Ruminal ammonia concentrations were measured in sheep receiving basal diets of hay and meals with various supplementary sources of protein. Ammonia production from groundnut meal was great and from maize products slight. Herring meal behaved in an intermediate way.

2. The extent of ammonia production from a given amount of protein-rich material was decreased when the amount of starch or cereal meal fed at the same time was increased.
