Estimation of microbial protein supply in ruminants using urinary purine derivatives / edited by Harinder P.S. Makkar, Animal Production and Health Section, Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture, IAEA, Vienna, Austria and X.B. Chen, International Feed Resources Unit, Macaulay Institute, Craigiebuckler, Aberdeen, United Kingdom.

This book presents various models, describing the quantitative excretion of purine derivatives in urine, developed for various animal species and breeds, and their use for estimation of microbial protein supply in ruminant livestock. The progress made over the last decade in analytical methods for d...
