Estimating Microbial Protein Synthesis in the Rumen-Can 'Omics' Methods Provide New Insights into a Long-Standing Question? [PDF]
Vet Sci, 2023 Simple Summary Microbial protein is a valuable resource within the global food chain. It is produced by microbes inhabiting the rumen (i.e., the rumen microbiota), and provides at least half of the building blocks for the synthesis of milk and meat ...

Effects of rumen-degradable-to-undegradable protein ratio in ruminant diet on in vitro digestibility, rumen fermentation, and microbial protein synthesis. [PDF]
Vet World, 2021 Background and Aim: Feeding ruminants must notice the degradability of feed, especially protein. Microbial rumen requires ammonia from rumen degradable protein (RDP) beside that ruminant require bypass protein or rumen undegradable protein (RUP) and ...

Assessing the potential for up-cycling recovered resources from anaerobic digestion through microbial protein production. [PDF]
Microb Biotechnol, 2021 Anaerobic digesters produce biogas, a mixture of predominantly CH4 and CO2, which is typically incinerated to recover electrical and/or thermal energy. In a context of circular economy, the CH4 and CO2 could be used as chemical feedstock in combination ...
