  title = {The effect of glucose treatment on ruminal dry matter and crude protein degradability characteristics of soybean meal, full fat soybean and soybean seed},
  abstract = {A high ruminal protein degradation is especially undesirable in high producingdairy cows and beef cattle, since these animals have high requirements of proteinand the amount of protein that is not degraded by ruminal microorganisms andtherefore enters the small intestine (so-called UDP = undegraded protein) iscrucial. In this study, Merino rams with ruminal fistulas were used (n = 4) to determinethe effect of glucose treatment of soybean meal (SBM), full fat soybean(FFSB) and soybean seed (SBS) on the ruminal degradability of dry matter (DM)and crude protein (CP). All these feedstuffs were grinded, diluted with water andheated (2 h; 100 amp;#730;C) either without or with supplementation of 2 or 3% glucose(20 or 30 g glucose per kg dry feed). For the determination of the ruminal degradabilitynylon bag technique was used (incubation times: 2–48 h). In generalruminal degradability of protein in all three soy products was reduced by glucosetreatment. In FFSB CP disappearance started to decrease after 8 h of incubation,whereas in SBM (+ 3% glucose) and SBS (+ 2 or 3% glucose) reduction of CPdisappearance were time-independent. Further, effective degradability (Pe) of DMand CP of all feedstuffs were significantly reduced by glucose treatment, with thereduction being more pronounced when the glucose level was increased. Whenadding 3% of glucose, the Pe for CP was reduced by 6 (FFSB), 16 (SBM) and 18%(SBS), respectively. Explanation for the observed effects of a glucose supplementation(incl. water and heat treatment) is the reductive activity of glucose withinthese conditions.},
