Some peculiarities of ruminant nutrition. HAROLD GOSS (1943). Nutrition Abstracts and Reviews 12
THE author in pointing out the peculiarities of ruminant
nutrition has shown that micro-flora in the rumen can (a)
make complex carbohydrates of feeds available by splitting
them up into simpler products, (b) synthesize vitamin B
complex and vitamin K, which are therefore not required
to be supplied in the food. Vitamins like A and D which
are not synthesized are, however, required to be supplied in
the diet. The microflora can also convert non-protein
nitrogenous substances, such as urea and ammonium salts,
into bacterial protein which later undergoes normal diges-
tion in the true stomach.
Although ruminants generally live on bulky foods, they
can be maintained on an exclusive dietary of concentrates
