Extract

Previous work at ADAS Bridgets aimed at evaluating the Metabolisable Protein (MP) system (AFRC 1992) has indicated that the efficiency of MP use for milk production may be too high, or that the amount of MP required for maintenance may be too low (Newbold et al 1994). This experiment was designed to indicate the true efficiency of MP use for milk protein production when metabolisable energy (ME) and MP supplies were balanced.
