Plant-based protein is an important source of amino acids for the dairy cow. During digestion, however, the majority of this valuable protein is broken down in the rumen of the cow, far too early in the digestive system for it to be fully utilised.
Borregaard's bypass protein products overcome this problem by protecting the protein while in the rumen, but allowing it to be fully digested within the small intestine. Consequently, better utilisation of the essential amino acids occurs, resulting in improved milk production.
