“…At present, the National Research Council (NRC) has not established dietary requirements for preruminants or ruminants (e.g., calves, beef cattle, dairy cows, lambs, and ewes) for Glu or Gln [ 75 , 121 ]. However, there is evidence that preruminants, as well as adult sheep, goats, dairy cows, and cattle, require dietary Glu ( Table 5 ) and Gln ( Table 6 ) supplementation for maximal growth and production performance, as well as for optimal (particularly intestinal) health and function, as detailed in the following sections [ 122 , 123 , 124 , 125 , 126 , 127 , 128 , 129 , 130 , 131 , 132 , 133 , 134 , 135 , 136 , 137 , 138 , 139 , 140 , 141 , 142 , 143 , 144 , 145 , 146 , 147 , 148 , 149 , 150 , 151 , 152 , 153 , 154 , 155 , 156 , 157 , 158 , 159 , 160 , 161 , 162 , 163 , 164 , 165 , 166 ]. This represents a paradigm shift in ruminant nutrition.…”
