Extract

Peptides are intermediates in the conversion of ingested protein to ammonia in the rumen and their presence in rumen fluid is influenced by the nature and amount of protein in the diet (2). Transient accumulation of peptides occurs after feeding and then their concentration declines (1,6). However, it is not clear what properties of natually occuring peptide moieties result is increased resistance to degradation in the rumen (5). The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of altering the dietary sources of available energy and protein on the accumulation of peptides in the ruminal fluid.
