Effects of microwave or infrared radiation on protein ruminal degradation and in vitro intestinal digestibility in feedstuffs

Microbial crude protein ( MCP ) is the main source of amino acids ( AA ) in the small intestine, followed by rumen undegraded protein ( RUP ). Due to limited MCP synthesis and increased AA demand in high-producing ruminants, strategies to enhance intestinal protein availability a...
