Abstract

To predict the utilizable amino acid (uAA) contents of major feeds for dairy cows, twenty-one different feed samples were collected and analyzed for the contents of crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF), soluble crude protein (SCP), non-protein nitrogen (NPN), neutral detergent unsoluble crude protein (NDIP) and acid detergent unsoluble crude protein (ADIP). The contents of nitrogenous fractions including non-protein nitrogen (PA), rapidly degraded true protein (PB1), intermediately degraded true protein (PB2), slowly degraded true protein (PB3) and unutilizable protein (PC) were calculated according to CNCPS. The contents of amino acids of feed samples were also analyzed. The contents of uAAs of feeds were calculated based on the relationships between feed amino acid and uAA. The results showed that the CNCPS nitrogenous fraction (PA, PB1, PB2, PB3 and PC) contents (% DM) were highly correlated with uAA, utilizable methionine (uMet), utilizable lysine (uLys) and utilizable leucine (uLeu) contents (% DM), and the regression equations were as follows:uAA=0.171PA+0.134PB1+0.364PB2+0.370PB3+0.148PC+7.785, R2=0.99, P<0.01; uMet=0.019PA-0.031PB1+0.024PB2+0.078PB3-0.004PC-0.071, R2=0.93, P<0.01; uLys=-0.045PA-0.020PB1+0.072PB2+0.038PB3-0.011PC+0.780, R2=0.92, P<0.01; uLeu=0.071PA+0.033PB1+0.093PB2+0.189PB3+0.003PC+0.006, R2=0.94, P<0.01. It is concluded that uAA, uMet, uLys and uLeu of feeds for dairy cows can be predicted based on the CNCPS nitrogenous fraction contents and the equations established in the trial.
