[Current problems of animal amino acid and vitamin nutrition].

Biochemical functions of certain amino acids and their role in improving fodder protein are described. Different aspects of biological significance of proteins and methods of its increase are discussed. It is indicated that concentrates prepared from green plants and starch- and cellulose-containing materials proteinized under the action of microorganisms can be used as an additional source of fodder protein. It is demonstrated that lysine and tryptophane concentrates can be effectively applied to raise the nutrient properties of fodder protein. The data are presented concerning the relations between protein and vitamin nutrition, as well as vitamin absorption and transport depending on the acceptor and receptor proteins of blood and tissues.
