Bypass protein
Protein meals fed to dairy animals are broken down by 60% to 70% to ammonia by the rumen microbes. A significant part of ammonia is then converted to urea in the liver and excreted through urine. Thus, a major part of expensive protein meals is wasted, for which animal spends energy. However, while using off bypass protein to feed dairy milch cows these protein meals are protected and saved from degradation in the rumen, getting digested in the lower part of the gastrointestinal tract, for higher milk production. This technology was incorporated into the feeding schedule and resulted in enhanced milk production from 13 to 15.5 litres.
