Abstract

See full text

A method is disclosed providing a more efficient and economical method of feeding ruminants a lower crude protein diet while still achieving the same level of milk and milk component yield as ruminants fed a normal crude protein diet. Specifically, the method involves feeding ruminants an animal feed supplement comprising at least one rumen protected protein in combination with a lower crude protein diet. This method provides a unique approach to feed formulation in that it allows for up to a 50% reduction in crude protein intake while maintaining the intestinal protein supply and milk component yield. This in turn results in a reduction of animal urinary nitrogen losses as well as a reduction in feed costs.
