Extract

One approach for effective use of dietary protein in ruminant feeding is to protect it from microbial degradation in the rumen. There has been that sodium hydroxide treatment reduces the degradation of soybean meal (SBM) protein in the rumen. This experiment was to investigate the effects of treating SBM with different concentrations and quantities of NaOH on the microbial fermentation and enzymatic digestion of the treated SBM.
