Method to protect lipophilic nutrients against ruminal degradation Universiteit Gent
The current problem is that there is no or only very few non-hazardous and efficient techniques to protect feeds supplements against degradation in the rumen, or in other words to create rumen-bypass products. Degradation in the rumen can give rise to sub-optimal production or loss of feed compounds which are of value for the animal and/or the end product, for example: - Extensive degradation of PUFA is a major factor in the low PUFA content of meat and milk from ruminants - Protection of possible limiting and/or essential feed constituents could help to reduce sub-optimal production and/or ...
