In small
ruminants such as Sheep and Goat, the amount of protein required is more
important than the quality of protein. When protein supplementation of the
production is the primary objective, the cost per pound of protein is then the
most important consideration. Protein generally is used to repair older tissues
and to build new tissues. Protein deficiency is more detrimental to the young
animal, so an adequate proportion of protein must be supplied if rapid growth
and high production are to be obtained in any small ruminant production. On the
other hand, excessive feeding to the animal is expensive.
