Duodenal flow of microbial nitrogen estimated from urinary excretion of purine derivatives in calves after early weaning.

چکیده
Duodenal flow of microbial N (MN) was estimated from urinary purine derivatives to examine age-related changes in MN in male Holstein calves. In Exp. 1, endogenous purine derivatives were determined by measurement of purine derivatives in five calves fed nucleic acid-free milk replacer alone. In Exp. 2, the ratio of urinary excretion as purine derivatives to purines administered via the reticular groove was determined in three calves weaned at 5 wk of age. As a result, endogenous purine derivatives were constant at 705 mumol/(kg BW.75.d), irrespective of the amount of milk replacer, and the ratios of purine derivatives to duodenal purines were estimated to be .549, .276, .363, and .466 at wk 1, 6, 11, and 20 after weaning, respectively. Using these variables and urinary purine derivatives, the duodenal flow of MN was estimated and its relation with N balance was examined in 15 calves weaned at 5 wk of age in Exp. 3. Digestible OM was lower at wk 1 after weaning and transiently higher at wk 6. The percentage of N absorbed to N intake, N absorbed, N retained, and estimated duodenal MN were also lower at wk 1, and rapidly increased for the first 6 wk. These findings suggest that the increases in N absorbed and N retained for the first 6 wk after weaning were due to augmentation of duodenal flow of MN and dietary N that escaped ruminal degradation.

A study was carried out to study the response of total purine derivatives (PD) excretion in urine to determine microbial N (MN) supply at four fixed levels of feed intake (namely 95, 80, 60 and 40% of voluntary intake). The crossbred (CB) calves were allocated according to a 4×4 Latin Square Design and fed wheat straw and concentrate (1:1). The rate of PD excretion (mmol/d) as a linear function...

The present study examined the endogenous urinary excretion of purine derivatives (PD; allantoin, uric acid and xanthine plus hypoxanthine) in fed animals. Four Rasa Aragonesa ewes fitted with simple cannulas in the rumen and proximal duodenum were used. Animals were given a lucerne (Medicago sativa) hay diet, as sole feed (A) or supplemented, respectively, with 220 (B), 400 (C), and 550 (D) g ...

Five experiments were carried out to extend knowledge of purine metabolism in the camel (Camelus dromedarius) and to establish a model to enable microbial protein outflow from the forestomachs to be estimated from the urinary excretion of purine derivatives (PD; i.e. xanthine, hypoxanthine, uric acid, allantoin). In experiment 1, four camels were fasted for five consecutive days to enable endog...

Three experiments were carried out to establish a response model between intake and urinary excretion of purine compounds. In Expt 1 the relationship between the intake of purine bases (PB) and the excretion of total purine derivatives (PD) was determined in seven growing rabbits with a mean initial live weight (LW) of 2.03 (SE 0.185) kg, aged 70 d, each fitted with a wooden neck collar to prev...
