Protected proteins for ruminants

Protecting the dietary protein from extensive degradation in the rumen can benefit the animal Protein that is not degraded in the rumen and reaches the small intestine unmodified, is called rumen bypass protein or rumen undegradable protein (RUP). In the lower gut, the protein is digested by enzymatic hydrolysis. Supplementation of this type of protein can improve productivity in terms of improved efficiency of meat, milk, and wool or hair production. The nutritionist can choose for a RUP with
