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.

How is fiber digested in the rumen?
Fiber in the rumen is broken down by specialized microorganisms such as bacteria and protozoa through a process called fermentation. These microorganisms use enzymes to break down the complex carbohydrates present in fiber into simpler molecules like volatile fatty acids, gases, and microbial protein, which can then be utilized by the animal for energy and growth.
How many stomachs does sheep have?
Yes a sheep's stomach has four compartments, the rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum.
What is the largest compartment of a cow's stomach?
The rumen.
How many stomach do the goat has?
The goat has one very large stomach with four parts; the rumen, the reticulum, the omasum, and the abomasum.
Why dogs are able to survive without a rumen?
Well, isn't that just a happy little question! Dogs are able to survive without a rumen because they have a different digestive system compared to animals like cows. Dogs have a shorter digestive tract that is more efficient at digesting and absorbing nutrients from meat and other animal-based foods. Each animal is unique and special in its own way, just like how each brushstroke adds beauty to a painting.
What is RDP in cows?
RDP stands for Rumen Degradable Protein. This is the type of feed protein that is ingested in the rumen and degraded into ammonia.
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 is protein degradation?

What is bypass protein?
A bypass protein is one used in rumen protein degradation.
What has the author Jacobus Andreas Swart written?
Jacobus Andreas Swart has written: 'Nitrogen metabolism in the rumen with special reference to in vitro protein synthesis' -- subject(s): Rumen, Proteins, Metabolism, Nitrogen metabolism
Is glass degradable?
Glass is recyclable. Glass is non degradable. Bio degradable waste rots away. Oil based paints are normally not bio degradable.
What is non degradable waste?
waste that is non degradable
Which compartment in the ruminant is nearest to the oesophagus?
The abomasum, this is the 'true" stomach which is able to easily absorb the number of antibodies from the colostrum and the high amounts of protein. The rumen and remaining stomachs will begin to develop once the calf begins to intake roughages (hay and grains). To learn more about the development and function of the Rumen, view the attached related link.
Why in ruminants feeding you are not so particular of the protein quality?
In ruminants, such as cows and sheep, microbial fermentation in the rumen allows them to break down and utilize lower quality proteins effectively. This means they can derive sufficient protein from a wider range of feed sources, making the need for high-quality protein less critical compared to non-ruminant animals. Additionally, the microbes in the rumen can synthesize essential amino acids, further reducing the dependence on dietary protein quality.
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.
Is lead bio degradable?
No, lead is a metal and metal is not bio degradable.
What are the protein requirements for a beef cow?
Protein requirements change from cow to cow, what level of growth or production that they are at. Protein is available to cattle through feedstuffs and the microorganism that grow in the rumen. Protein levels are not the same for each cow, please see the below link for further information.
