Date Jan. 10, 1991.The invention relates to a process for optimizing and balancing the composition of the ration feed given to a ruminant by taking a single sample or urine or milk from the ruminant and evaluating the nutrient status of the fore-stomachs with reference to energy and protein. The process comprises: measuring the excretion of urea in the sample; measuring the excretion allantoin in the sample in relation to the excretion of creatinine to calculate an allantoin:creatinine ratio; evaluating the nutrient status of the fore-stomachs as to protein and energy; and adjusting the protein and/or energy content of the ration feed to an optimum level. The calculation of the allantoin:creatinine ratio allows for a single sample of urine or milk to be used in the evaluation of the nutrient status of the ruminant's fore-stomachs. |
