Influence of Energy Levels on the Utlilization of Peanut Protein-Urea Nitrogen by Cattle and Buffalo1

Abstract

Three rumen-fistulated cattle and three buffalo were maintained on diets, isonitrogenous but variable in energy content, in a 3 x 3 Latin square type design. The peak of proteolytic activity in the rumen liquor of these animals was centered about the second hour post-feeding which corresponded also to maximum microbial multiplication. Increase in the level of available energy for the animals enhanced the efficiency of the utilization of ammonia-N resulting from dietary peanut protein-urea. Buffalo in contrast to cattle exhibited ruminal conditions which were more proteolytic and also more favorable to ammonia utilization.
