The breakdown of proteins in animals can lead to various health issues, such as muscle wasting and impaired immune function, as essential amino acids are not adequately supplied. This process can result from factors like malnutrition, disease, or metabolic disorders, ultimately affecting the overall health and productivity of the animal. Additionally, the accumulation of toxic byproducts from protein breakdown can further exacerbate health problems. Ensuring proper protein metabolism is crucial for maintaining the well-being of animals.
The breakdown of proteins is a problem for animals for quite a few reasons. Proteins are complex and some animals don't have the ability to break them down.
Breakdown of proteins produce aminoacids.
Proteases are enzymes that speed up the breakdown of proteins.
Proteases break down proteins.
The enzyme that speeds up the breakdown of proteins in food are called protease.

Catabolism and anabolism combine to bring about the continuous breakdown of proteins, as well as its resynthesis, that create dynamic equilibrium. Protein synthesis is more dynamic in younger animals than for older ones.
