Extract

Previous work (Metcalf et al 1996) has suggested that, even for cows when ME and MP supplies were balanced, the relationship between MP intake and net protein output at higher levels of feeding and production differs from that assumed in the MP system. This experiment was designed to test the concept that the efficiency of MP use for milk protein secretion is limited when metabolisable energy (ME) is limiting.
