| dc.description.abstract | Three duodenally cannulated lactating Holstein cows fed cotton-seed meal (CSM), corn gluten meal (CGM) or blood meal (BM) as protein supplement were used in a 3 x 3 Latin Square experiment to determine microbial crude protein (MCP) in duodenal digesta. Diets, formulated to contain 15% crude protein (CP) on a dry matter basis, consited of 60% concentrate, 31% corn silage and 9% alfalfa hay. Chromium oxide was employed as flow marker. Microbial protein fraction of digesta CP (MCP/DCP) was estimated by three microbial markers: ¹⁵N, diaminopimelic acid (DAP) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The isotopic method gave the most reliable results. Variability was higher with DAP and RNA. Results from RNA were lower (P < .01) and unreasonable. Based on ¹⁵N, MCP/DCP differed among treatments (P < .10) with means of 61.5, 59.4, and 50.0% for CSM, CGM, and BM, respectively, but differences were not significant for absolute amounts of total CP and MCP in duodenal digesta. | |
