Supposed model of behavior of polymeric feed additive in the gastrointestinal tract of ruminant animals

Аннотация

This article presents the expected behavior of a high molecular weight water-soluble polymer—base of the Solunat feed additive—in different parts of the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants, which is determined by the chemical properties of the polymer and the peculiarities of the digestive system of ruminants. This provides interaction with proteins/amino acids of feeds and enzymatic membrane proteins resulting in a more complete digestion of forages and an increased productivity of animals.
