Re: Article - Plant extracts as antimicrobials in ruminants

This article is highly useful for the scientists in India and other Asian countries where abundant herbal material is available to address the problem of acidosis and the protozoal population eating up microbial proteins.
My question to the author: Is not protozoal biomass absorbed in intestine as a source of protein?
Can someone explain this in Engormix-columns?

Re: Article - Plant extracts as antimicrobials in ruminants

This is an interesting area of work. I must thank R.J. Wallace of Rowett. We the researchers of Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute, Savar, Dhaka, has been working on saponin sources and their effect on live weight gain. Engormix could take initiative on networking ongoing research on the area.
Thank you all.
