ABSTRACT
Maize, rice bran, soyabean meal and rapeseed meal were used to explore the effects of ruminal incubation on the amino acids profile of rumen-undegradable protein (RUP) in steers. Except maize, the disappearances of total amino acids (TAAs) and CP in feeds changed dramatically during former 24 h (P<0.05), and some slight differences were found in the following 24 h (P>0.05). Arginine and histidine were more sensitive to microbial degradation, but branch-chain AAs (isoleucine, leucine and phenylalanine) were more resistant. Microbial contamination should be taken into account to compare degradation rate of individual AA especially for branch-chain AAs in future research.
