Open publisher page 46 citations

Abstract

The flow of amino acids from the stomach significantly decreased (P < 0.01) when sheep, fauna-free from birth, were inoculated with ciliate protozoa. The results confirm the inefficient use of dietary nitrogen caused by ciliate protozoa. Key words: Sheep, ciliate protozoa, amino acids
