The Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and
Agriculture has a long history of coordinating isotope aided
research projects for improving animal productivity in developing
countries. These projects have focused on enhancing the efficiency
of animal production through better use of locally available feed
resources and those that do not compete with human food. As a part
of these efforts, the Joint Division has been actively involved in
developing and simplifying approaches for measuring microbial
protein supply to ruminant livestock. The contribution of microbial
protein in meeting the overall requirement for protein in ruminants
is significant, but understanding the contribution of microbial
protein to the nutrition of ruminant livestock has been hampered by
the lack of simple and accurate methods for measuring microbial
protein production in vivo. A Consultants' Meeting was held in 1995
in Vienna to explore the feasibility of using nuclear and related
techniques to develop and validate new approaches for measuring
microbial protein supply in ruminant animals. Based on the
available information, the consultants considered that the purine
derivative excretion method, which is non-invasive and both simple
to use and inexpensive compared with other available methods, had
the potential for use in developing countries. However, development
of models for various animal species and breeds and their
validation were required before this technique could be advocated
for use.
