food composition for animals to inhibit rumen microbial by deamination

摘要

Compositions and methods for inhibiting selectively microbial deamination in ruminant animals comprise administering orally a diphenyliodonium salt. Inhibition of microbial deamination enables the ruminant animal to utilize protein or amino acids more efficiently. Particularly useful as active ingredients are 4,4'-dimethyldiphenyliodonium salts.
