BrIcf Description of the l~rawin~s ~5 Fi~ure I ~hows the relationship between body wdgh~ and the weieht of ~ass protein and fat for beef cattle. The period A is the period of maxlmum muscular devclopment, that is, when ~vdght ~ain derives mainly from p~otein production ~ often called the "growing phasen. Foltowing what 1~ ca}led the ~breakpointU (B~ there is a penod (C) of even ~reater ~owth rate w~ich can be attrlbuted to increasing fat 3t~ deposition, ie. a ~fattenin~ phase".
Dl~clo~ure of th~ Invontion Accordin~ to the b~oadest aspect of thi5 invcntion there is provided a n-ethod of improving the growth rate and modifyin~ the c~ss qu~lity of rum~t 1{vestock, which comprise~ simultaneously fccdln~ to the livestocl~, protccted protcin ~nd protcctcd lipid in 35 ratios sdected to meet protdn and energy rcquir~ments favourable to the achievcment of desircd c~cass charactcnstics.
According to another aspect of th~s invcntion there is providcd a method of improvin~ thc grow~h rate and modifying the carcass quali~ of ruminant livestock, ~hich .
~o 93t22936 ,'. 1 3 S ~ 2 4 PCr/~U93~00~13 .. , . comprises simultaneously fecding to tbe livestock, protected protein and protected lipid in r~tios varying from about 3:1 to about 1:1 du~ the erowine ph~se to about 1:1 to about 1:3 during the fattenm3 phasc.
~ccordin~ to another aspect of this invention there is provided a method of 5 improvin~ the growth rate and motifying the ca~cass 4uality of ruminant livcstock, which compnses ssmult~neously feeding to thc lives~ock, p~otccte~ protein and protected lipst in ratios substantially thc samc as the carc~ss proteln/fat rauos indicated in Figure 1.
Dofinition~
In th~s specification the t~rnl "stml~kaneous" i5 used tO n~ t heding within a putod of about 24 hours, ie, to realise thc benefits of the invention it is not essential tha~ thc intake of protccted pr~tein and psotectec3 lipid takes place at the same time, rather it is important that ~lthin a gi~en 24 hour period the animals blood plasma is enri~hed witll both protein ant 3ipid constituents by absorptlon f~om the abomasum or 30wer digestive tract.
s By "p~v~ecrct" we mcan treated so as no~ to be fully cxposcd to the degradad~caction ~f th~ rumen environmcnt, but available for absorption from the abomasum or lower digestive tract. As will be apparcnt fron~ discussion of the pAor art earlier in this spccification, a range of tuhniques have been devdoped for achicving such protcction.
Suitable tcchniqucs ~hould allow accuratc control of the amount of crass~linking that .20 occurs bdwcen the protein fecdstum and the aldehydo; this may bc achicvcd ~y varying : . ~he anlount of aldehyde relative to lhe pr~tdn content and ~ts amino ae~d composition, so that the protein ~ optimally "protcctet" from rumen degradalion, but may be completcly tieested and absorbed from thc sn~ll intestlne. For the purposes of this invcntion the opdmal de~xe of rumen prolection lics in the range 50 tP 70%, ie. 50 to 709~ of the z~ protein contcnt of the supplen ent will pass undcgraded t~rough the rumen. Likewise, diewy fats an be protected from ru~ninal metibolism b~r encapsulation ~n a matrix of cross-linked proteins, and here Ihe prcfcrrcd windo~v of protection ran~es from 6~% to 90%, especially 15~ to 90~ ~or fats derived from various sources; ie. 75g6 to ~û% of thc fa~s will pass unde~raded through the rumen~
Best Modes of Carrying Out the ~n~ntion In pcrfo~tnance of this invention it is likely to be nlOst practical to fccd ani~nals a supplement which combines a protected prote~n ~nd a protec~od lipid. ~ypically those supplcments will ~o fed a~ the rato of abo~lt 20% of the total feedlot ration, and the ratio o~.proteoted protein to protec~ed ht will /asy dependin~ upon the s~eo of ~rowth and 3~ fatton~ng. An economic~lly vi~ble sourco of both protdn and lipid is likely so bc o;l sced (c~. cotton, sunflower, canola), howe~er it is also fcasiblc to u~e protcins and fats de~ived from animal sources (eg~ casein, sallow, lard) and this offers thc flexibility to select J wO g3t22936 ~ 13 ~ 6 2 4 PCI~AU93/00213 components of the protein-lipid mix accorting to the re~ative pnces and availability of raw naterials.
Regartless of whether the adopted tiet involvc~ the supply of protected protein and protected lipld sepa~tely or in combination, the invent~on is not to be constnued as requinng the continual, simultaneous feedins of protected protein and protected lipid throughout the gro~ng andlor fattening phases. Clearly thc benefits possiblc from practisine this invention can be expec~ed to bc relatcd to the oontinuity and pcriod of f~eding the protectcd mater~als, and to a nounts fed, but other factors such as target markets and cattle specificatio~ls, e~. genotype, age, and physiolo~ical condition; the 10 environmental situation (temperatu~e, hunlidity), should also be taken ~nto account when dcciding on the feeding regime to be adopted.
Thus, for the Australias~ markets, where there is a preference for li~htcr cattle, cg.
havinp a body wdoht at slaughter of approximately 3SOk~ to 400kg, the fceding ofpTotccted protein and protected lipid in the pro~o~tions of about 3:1 to about 1:1 for approximately 90 to 100 da~s would bc recommendcd for optimum fecd conYersion, growth rate and carcass yidd. ~hereas in some of the Asian markets, ee. ~apan, whcrc meat containin~ a lli~hcr an~ount of fat and rep~oducible organolcptic characteristics ~eg.
texture, fl~vour) is prcfet~ed, thc better procedure ~vould be to change the propo~on of protected protein to protectcd lipid from about 1:1 to ~bout 1:3 as the body wcight of the 20 animal increases fTom 400kg to 700k~ during a 150 day fe~dlot period. Hencc, the invendon embodies a practical feeding stra~egy with considerablc flexibility to satlsfy the various phases of g~owth and fanening.
Practicc of this invention c~n bo expected to of~er econornic bencfits irrespecti~e of tho typc of animal in guestion, however, a partlcutar beneflt will be obser~ed with what 25 might be called "high weight" steen, ie. stecrs above about 400k~. In a trial ~see Example I~) with ~lereford cross stecrs of ave~a~e weight 470kg; the fecting of protected - protein/lipid supplements dur~ng the "fattening" phase resulted in about a 20æ
hnprovement in feed conv6rsion, an i~crease in dressing pcrcentago from S9.7 to 60.7, and, in the case of aninlals fed the high fat supplement (Group Ill), the fat contcnt of the 30 carcasS was incrcased by abo~lt loæ. ("~rcss~g pcrcen~a~c" is thc ratio of hot drosscd wdght, fat ren~oved, to final livo wcight reduced by 4% to allow for shrinkage)~Thc provision of protected feedstuffs in accordance ullith this in~cntion, should not be secn as associated ~vith any particular ration o~ dictary oomponent, the invent;on does, howovcr, offer unexpected additional benofits in certain circumstances. Thus (see 3S Exa~hplc V) thc carcasses of anima~s fed an oat concentrato ration to~ethcr with protected protcin/lipid supplcments during the ~rowin~ period had IS % less fat content than similar ~ima~s fcd a barley concentrate and protected supp~eme~ts, bu~ without any sign~ficant reduction in ~verayc livc weight g~in or fecd con~crsion. This can be commercially important bccausc oats can cost up Io SAU40.00 per tonne less than barley~ and also .
- wo 93t22g36 i I ~ 5 6 2 4 Pt~ U93~00213 bccausc of increasing market intcrest in low fat me~t. Further, ionop~horcs, such as moncnsin, are widdy used in the feetlot intust~y to impro~e fecd conversion. We b~ve - found (see Example ~I) that the feedin~ of ptotected proteln/llpid supplements in associadon with ionophares during the growing phase can effcct dramadc (up to 409~) a dec~cascs in carcass fat cont~nt-again without any ddetesious af~ct {n carcass ~veight.
Thc invcntiDn will now be dacribcd in greator dcsail by rcference to specific examples.

BrIcf Description of the l~rawin~s ~5 Fi~ure I ~hows the relationship between body wdgh~ and the weieht of ~ass protein and fat for beef cattle. The period A is the period of maxlmum muscular devclopment, that is, when ~vdght ~ain derives mainly from p~otein production ~ often called the "growing phasen. Foltowing what 1~ ca}led the ~breakpointU (B~ there is a penod (C) of even ~reater ~owth rate w~ich can be attrlbuted to increasing fat 3t~ deposition, ie. a ~fattenin~ phase".
Dl~clo~ure of th~ Invontion Accordin~ to the b~oadest aspect of thi5 invcntion there is provided a n-ethod of improving the growth rate and modifyin~ the c~ss qu~lity of rum~t 1{vestock, which comprise~ simultaneously fccdln~ to the livestocl~, protccted protcin ~nd protcctcd lipid in 35 ratios sdected to meet protdn and energy rcquir~ments favourable to the achievcment of desircd c~cass charactcnstics.
According to another aspect of th~s invcntion there is providcd a method of improvin~ thc grow~h rate and modifying the carcass quali~ of ruminant livestock, ~hich .
~o 93t22936 ,'. 1 3 S ~ 2 4 PCr/~U93~00~13 .. , . comprises simultaneously fecding to tbe livestock, protected protein and protected lipid in r~tios varying from about 3:1 to about 1:1 du~ the erowine ph~se to about 1:1 to about 1:3 during the fattenm3 phasc.
~ccordin~ to another aspect of this invention there is provided a method of 5 improvin~ the growth rate and motifying the ca~cass 4uality of ruminant livcstock, which compnses ssmult~neously feeding to thc lives~ock, p~otccte~ protein and protected lipst in ratios substantially thc samc as the carc~ss proteln/fat rauos indicated in Figure 1.
Dofinition~
In th~s specification the t~rnl "stml~kaneous" i5 used tO n~ t heding within a putod of about 24 hours, ie, to realise thc benefits of the invention it is not essential tha~ thc intake of protccted pr~tein and psotectec3 lipid takes place at the same time, rather it is important that ~lthin a gi~en 24 hour period the animals blood plasma is enri~hed witll both protein ant 3ipid constituents by absorptlon f~om the abomasum or 30wer digestive tract.
s By "p~v~ecrct" we mcan treated so as no~ to be fully cxposcd to the degradad~caction ~f th~ rumen environmcnt, but available for absorption from the abomasum or lower digestive tract. As will be apparcnt fron~ discussion of the pAor art earlier in this spccification, a range of tuhniques have been devdoped for achicving such protcction.
Suitable tcchniqucs ~hould allow accuratc control of the amount of crass~linking that .20 occurs bdwcen the protein fecdstum and the aldehydo; this may bc achicvcd ~y varying : . ~he anlount of aldehyde relative to lhe pr~tdn content and ~ts amino ae~d composition, so that the protein ~ optimally "protcctet" from rumen degradalion, but may be completcly tieested and absorbed from thc sn~ll intestlne. For the purposes of this invcntion the opdmal de~xe of rumen prolection lics in the range 50 tP 70%, ie. 50 to 709~ of the z~ protein contcnt of the supplen ent will pass undcgraded t~rough the rumen. Likewise, diewy fats an be protected from ru~ninal metibolism b~r encapsulation ~n a matrix of cross-linked proteins, and here Ihe prcfcrrcd windo~v of protection ran~es from 6~% to 90%, especially 15~ to 90~ ~or fats derived from various sources; ie. 75g6 to ~û% of thc fa~s will pass unde~raded through the rumen~
Best Modes of Carrying Out the ~n~ntion In pcrfo~tnance of this invention it is likely to be nlOst practical to fccd ani~nals a supplement which combines a protected prote~n ~nd a protec~od lipid. ~ypically those supplcments will ~o fed a~ the rato of abo~lt 20% of the total feedlot ration, and the ratio o~.proteoted protein to protec~ed ht will /asy dependin~ upon the s~eo of ~rowth and 3~ fatton~ng. An economic~lly vi~ble sourco of both protdn and lipid is likely so bc o;l sced (c~. cotton, sunflower, canola), howe~er it is also fcasiblc to u~e protcins and fats de~ived from animal sources (eg~ casein, sallow, lard) and this offers thc flexibility to select J wO g3t22936 ~ 13 ~ 6 2 4 PCI~AU93/00213 components of the protein-lipid mix accorting to the re~ative pnces and availability of raw naterials.
Regartless of whether the adopted tiet involvc~ the supply of protected protein and protected lipld sepa~tely or in combination, the invent~on is not to be constnued as requinng the continual, simultaneous feedins of protected protein and protected lipid throughout the gro~ng andlor fattening phases. Clearly thc benefits possiblc from practisine this invention can be expec~ed to bc relatcd to the oontinuity and pcriod of f~eding the protectcd mater~als, and to a nounts fed, but other factors such as target markets and cattle specificatio~ls, e~. genotype, age, and physiolo~ical condition; the 10 environmental situation (temperatu~e, hunlidity), should also be taken ~nto account when dcciding on the feeding regime to be adopted.
Thus, for the Australias~ markets, where there is a preference for li~htcr cattle, cg.
havinp a body wdoht at slaughter of approximately 3SOk~ to 400kg, the fceding ofpTotccted protein and protected lipid in the pro~o~tions of about 3:1 to about 1:1 for approximately 90 to 100 da~s would bc recommendcd for optimum fecd conYersion, growth rate and carcass yidd. ~hereas in some of the Asian markets, ee. ~apan, whcrc meat containin~ a lli~hcr an~ount of fat and rep~oducible organolcptic characteristics ~eg.
texture, fl~vour) is prcfet~ed, thc better procedure ~vould be to change the propo~on of protected protein to protectcd lipid from about 1:1 to ~bout 1:3 as the body wcight of the 20 animal increases fTom 400kg to 700k~ during a 150 day fe~dlot period. Hencc, the invendon embodies a practical feeding stra~egy with considerablc flexibility to satlsfy the various phases of g~owth and fanening.
Practicc of this invention c~n bo expected to of~er econornic bencfits irrespecti~e of tho typc of animal in guestion, however, a partlcutar beneflt will be obser~ed with what 25 might be called "high weight" steen, ie. stecrs above about 400k~. In a trial ~see Example I~) with ~lereford cross stecrs of ave~a~e weight 470kg; the fecting of protected - protein/lipid supplements dur~ng the "fattening" phase resulted in about a 20æ
hnprovement in feed conv6rsion, an i~crease in dressing pcrcentago from S9.7 to 60.7, and, in the case of aninlals fed the high fat supplement (Group Ill), the fat contcnt of the 30 carcasS was incrcased by abo~lt loæ. ("~rcss~g pcrcen~a~c" is thc ratio of hot drosscd wdght, fat ren~oved, to final livo wcight reduced by 4% to allow for shrinkage)~Thc provision of protected feedstuffs in accordance ullith this in~cntion, should not be secn as associated ~vith any particular ration o~ dictary oomponent, the invent;on does, howovcr, offer unexpected additional benofits in certain circumstances. Thus (see 3S Exa~hplc V) thc carcasses of anima~s fed an oat concentrato ration to~ethcr with protected protcin/lipid supplcments during the ~rowin~ period had IS % less fat content than similar ~ima~s fcd a barley concentrate and protected supp~eme~ts, bu~ without any sign~ficant reduction in ~verayc livc weight g~in or fecd con~crsion. This can be commercially important bccausc oats can cost up Io SAU40.00 per tonne less than barley~ and also .
- wo 93t22g36 i I ~ 5 6 2 4 Pt~ U93~00213 bccausc of increasing market intcrest in low fat me~t. Further, ionop~horcs, such as moncnsin, are widdy used in the feetlot intust~y to impro~e fecd conversion. We b~ve - found (see Example ~I) that the feedin~ of ptotected proteln/llpid supplements in associadon with ionophares during the growing phase can effcct dramadc (up to 409~) a dec~cascs in carcass fat cont~nt-again without any ddetesious af~ct {n carcass ~veight.
Thc invcntiDn will now be dacribcd in greator dcsail by rcference to specific examples.
