It was also of particular interest to compare spot urine sampling and total urine collection as methodologies to quantify yield of microbial N using purine derivatives (PD) as indirect microbial markers. Fifteen Holstein cows were grouped by milk yield (5.88 kg/day: LOW treatment; 18.54 kg/day: MEDIUM treatment; and 32.6 kg/day: HIGH treatment) and data analyzed as a completely randomized design. Animals were fed ad libitum corn silage plus one kg of concentrate per each three kg of milk produced. Except for NDF corrected for ash and protein (NDFap), intake of all remaining nutrients was increased by milk yield. Digestibilities of DM and OM and dietary TDN content did not differ among treatments. However, digestibility of CP was higher and that of NDFap was lower on the greatest milk yielding...

Microbial protein synthesis and efficiency were also measured in this trial. Sixteen steers averaging 286 kg of BW were assigned to a completely randomized design with a 2x2 factorial approach: two protein sources (soybean meal and urea) and two levels of concentrate (0.75 and 1.25% of BW); four replicates per treatment were used and the experiment lasted 63 days. Diets were isonitrogenous (12% of CP) with the forage portion composed by elephant grass silage and sorghum silage in the ratio of 80:20. Efficiency of microbial protein synthesis was not affected by treatments. Intakes of DM, OM, EE, NDF, NFC and TDN and apparent total tract digestibilities of DM, OM, EE and TDN all increased linearly when the proportion of concentrate was increased in the diet. Except for EE, the protein sources did not affect the...

The four diets, formulated from alfalfa silage plus a concentrate mix based on ground high moisture ear corn, contained (dry matter basis): 1) 20% concentrate, 80% alfalfa silage (24% nonfiber carbohydrate; NFC), 2) 35% concentrate, 65% alfalfa silage (30% NFC), 3) 50% concentrate, 50% alfalfa silage (37% NFC), or 4) 65% concentrate, 35% alfalfa silage (43% NFC). Soybean meal and urea were added to make diets isonitrogenous with equal nonprotein nitrogen (NPN) (43% of total N). Total urine was collected with indwelling Folley catheters for 24 h during each period. There was no effect of diet on urinary creatinine excretion (average 29 mg/kg of BW/d). There were quadratic effects of diet on total urinary ecretion of allantoin, uric acid, and purine derivatives (allantoin plus uric acid), and on ruminal synthesis of microbial...

We hypothesized that ruminal microbiota are capable of degrading ricin, and that the toxin inhibits ruminal microbial growth. Therefore, first we evaluated the in vitro ruminal degradation of ricin from solvent castorseed meal (SCM) by SDS-PAGE and densitometry analysis of culture medium (Experiment 1). Culture medium (three replicates) were
