Deamination of Amino Acids in vivo by Rumen Microorganisms1

C. G. Looper, O. T. Stallcup and F. E. Reed

University of Arkansas2

Abstract

Five individual amino acids, beta-alanine, DL-aspartic acid, L-glutamic, glycine and L-lysine, were fed to a fistulated steer. Significant deamination, as indicated by ammonia production in the rumen, was demonstrated with beta-alanine, DL-aspartic acid and L-glutamic acid. The break down in the rumen of amino acids into ammonia and other materials varies.
