Abstract
RUMINANTS normally obtain the protein they require by digestion of the organisms that inhabit the forestomach (rumen), not by direct digestion of the dietary protein they chew up and swallow.
The organisms break down the dietary protein and then rebuild proteins in the form of more organisms.
