The effects of feed nitrogen and polyphenol levels on the fate of ingested nitrogen in steers and their implications for nitrogen cycling in mixed farming systems
Due to inadequate feed supplies for livestock production, farmers throughout the tropics and sub-tropics are being encouraged to supplement low quality basal diets with leguminous forage and concentrates. The varying quality (e.g. nitrogen, lignin and polyphenol content) of these diets will influenc...
