Specifically, these factors include dry matter intake of animals, forage: concentrate ratio of diets, rate of N and carbohydrate degradation, synchronized release of N and energy from diets, rate of passage, and other factors, such as vitamins and minerals. It seemed that diets containing a mixture of forages and concentrates increase the efficiency of microbial protein synthesis because of an improved rumen environment for the growth of more diverse bacteria species.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMicrobial Protein SynthesisIntakeRates Of PassagesArticle255Q4Q3681686WOS:000171558800007
