In such cases, productivity of the animal depends on the ability of the livestock producer to select those feeds and supplements to maximize bacterial production and, if needed, supply protein that will escape digestion in the rumen and pass to the small intestine to supply additional amino acids. If production of ammonia in the rumen from the feed sources, such as nonprotein nitrogen or feed protein that is rapidly digested, exceeds the capacity of the bacterial population to use ammonia, some of the excess can be lost and high concentrations may be toxic.
