What is rumen degradable protein?
Rumen degradable protein (RDP) is feed protein that can be broken down by microbial enzymes in the rumen (neutral pH) where the resulting nitrogen, AA's or peptides are either utilized to meet microbial requirements or if unused, ammonia which is absorbed across the rumen wall and either recycled or excreted. Look up P. J. Van Soest "Nutritional Ecology of the Ruminant" in googlebooks for a more detailed description.

What is the functions of the rumen and reticulum?
The rumen, also known as a paunch, forms the larger part of the reticulorumen, which is the first chamber in the alimentary canal of ruminant animals. It serves as the primary site for microbial fermentation of ingested feed. The smaller part of the reticulorumen is the reticulum, which is fully continuous with the rumen, but differs from it with regard to the texture of its lining.
What proteins do cows eat?
Plant (and some) proteins measured in terms of Crude Protein, Rumen Degradable Protein, Rumen Undegradable Protein, Microbial Protein, Bypass Protein, and essential amino acid content such as Lysine, Methionine, Tryptophan, Leucine, etc.
What are the four compartments of a ruminant stomach and what is their function?
The rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum. Rumen and reticulum are responsible for microbial fermentation of carbohydrates, degradation of protein and non-protein nitrogen, and partial hydrogenation of unsaturated lipids from feedstuffs eaten by the ruminant. Fermentation in the rumen and reticulum enable break-down if cellulose, fibre, and lignin to digest VFAs and amino acids. Microbes comprising of protozoa and bacteria live in these chambers which help with the fermentation process. In the Omasum, the main function is the absorption of water and some nutrients from the digesta of the rumen. In the Abomasum, digesta is redigested, where amino acids and starches undergo further digestion.
What can you observe through a rumen fistula?
A rumen fistula is a surgically created entry to the rumen in the left flank of the ruminant, typically permanent and with a rubber or similar material device (a 'cannula') fitted to close it between times of use. It enables the rumen contents to be accessed, and the rumen wall to be viewed and biopsied. Surgically modified ruminants such as these are only found on research farms, where they are used to study rumen function. Looking in through the fistula, you can see the rumen contents and the rumen wall.
