Microbial protein flow to the duodenum is based on availability of energy (primarily carbohydrates from starch and fiber), ruminally degraded protein, and other factors that are difficult to quantify and that often interact with each other.
Therefore, the estimation of microbial protein flow will need to be done with mechanistic models (describing the biological processes) or with empirical models (based on a statistical best fit to the data).
Predictions of microbial nitrogen (N) flow to the duodenum based on the intake of net energy of lactation (NEL; megacalories per day) were improved compared with the equation in the current National Research Council’s Nutrient Requirements of Dairy Cattle (NRC, 1989).
