Microbial Proteins = come from both NPN & soluble protein in diet

AA available to animal tissue are from escape and microbial protein

Ruminant & low protein: can survive because of urea and recycling

Ruminant and man: don't compete for food because NPN, an met AA requirements.

 

Microbial and Escape protein: digested and absorbed in S.I.

Adult = 100% requirements can be met with microbial protein

Young (growing) or lactating = only 75% requirements met with microbial protein Þ to meet requiremetn (25%) feed insoluble (escape) proetin.

 

Decrease Protein Solubility ­ escape value

1. heat it

2. coat with fat - bacteria cannot get to it

3. chemically treat, formaldehyde

Look at BV and solubility.

Milk BV = 90 and is soluble Þ ¯ value from 90 ® 75-80

Corn BV = 60 ~soluble Þ ­ value from 60 ® 75-80
