I . Two experiments were carried out with sheep and cattle receiving high-concentrate rations to estimate the amount of digestion taking place in the rumino-reticulum and omasum. Two techniques were used for the collection of samples of abomasal contents. In the experiment with sheep, animals were slaughtered at different times after feeding and samples of digesta were collected. In the experim...

The objective of this experiment was to assess ruminal outflow and apparent total-tract digestibility using digesta samples from 3 sites (reticulum, omasum, and abomasum) and 3 marker methods (single marker: indigestible NDF [iNDF; sample without separation]; double marker: iNDF + Co-EDTA [filtered sample]; and triple marker: iNDF + ytterbium [Yb] acetate + Co-EDTA [filtered and centrifuged]) i...

In the present study the following investigations were pe...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of orally administered cisapride, bethanechol, and erythromycin on the absorption of colostral IgG in dairy calves. ANIMALS Twenty-four healthy neonatal Holstein-Friesian calves. PROCEDURES Calves were randomly assigned to one of the following treatments: 0.9% NaCl solution (2 mL, p.o.; negative control); erythromycin lactobionate (20 mg/kg BW, p.o.; anticip...

aqueous (hydrophilic) and chloroform (lipophilic) extracts of nine medicinal plants currently used in traditional medicine, in egypt, to treat some gastrointestinal tract (git) disorders were tested for their gastro-protective effect against the incidence of peptic ulcer. indomethacin-induced ulcer in a rat model was used for this testing. mentha microphylla, brassica oleracea capitata (cabbage...

Forty crossbred steers were used to determine the effects of carbohydrate supply site on the indigenous bacteria of the gastrointestinal tract. Steers were fitted with ruminal and abomasal infusion catheters and assigned randomly to one of eight groups in a complete randomized block design. The experimental period was 36 d. Treatments included: 1) a pelleted basal diet fed at 0.163 Mcal ME x (k...

This study is reported the case abomasal teladorsagiosis in gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa) that was found dead while under care at wildlife reserve area Sanliurfa, Turkey. Necropsy performed to six-year-old, male gazelle, which its natural environment and brought Department of Pathology Faculty Veterinary Medicine, University Harran. At necropsy were observed became whitish color thickened plic...

1. Expt 1. Six 200 kg Hereford heifers fitted with rumen and abomasal cannulas were fed ad lib. on alkali-treated oat straw sprayed with urea and minerals, with no supplement (O), or 700 g rolled barley (B) or cottonseed meal (C)/d, in a 3 x 3 Latin square with two replicates. 2. Intakes of the basal diet were not significantly affected by the supplements. Intakes of digestible organic matter (...
