Abstract
A diagnostic assay to determine a percentage rumen undegraded protein in a food product by comparing the percentage of modified protein content to the total crude protein content of the food product. The total crude protein content extracted from a food product sample prior to conducting gel electrophoresis to separate modified protein content from the total crude protein content. The gel band intensities of the separated protein contents analyzed to enumerate a ratio that is used to derive a correlated percentage numen undegraded protein for a given food product sample. The diagnostic assay capable of being provided onsite for quick, cost-efficient and accurate results.
