"Intrisic factor" is necessary for B12 absorption
What is needed to facilitate active absorption?
a protein carrier and energy

No, protein helps give you energy. Vitamin D helps absorb calcium
What carrier protein is responsible for absorption of vitamin B12?
Intrinsic factor

How is protein lost from animals?
Except for the protein that is used by the animal, protein can be lost in several ways. For example, if the animal has a problem with digestion or absorption, protein can be lost via the faeces. Protein can also be lost into the abdomen, and animals with kidney malfunction can lose protein via urine (eg. a protein losing nephropathy).
