Originally posted by Tsix-eightX View PostI see what you're saying and it makes sense, rumen doesn't hurt the deer so havin excess protein is a negligible factor as far as deer are concerned.

1. Indigestible - simple pass through.
2. Rumen Degradable Protein (Soluble) - I think this is significant because this fuels the rumen microorganisms.
3. Bypass protein - this is only broken down in the small intestines.
Of course depending on the feedstuff used, a ration can vary greatly in Protein types - both how much is utilized and also where absorption takes place.
