Effect of protein on abomasal secretion of acid in sheep
The British Journal of Nutrition
|November 1, 1980
Abstract:
1. The relationship between protein content of abomasal digesta and abomasal secretion of acid was studied in sheep fitted with re-entrant cannulas in the proximal duodenum. 2. A close relationship was found between the rate of passage of protein through the abomasum and acid secretion, both after varying the protein content of the rations supplied, and after direct introduction of proteins into the abomasum (infusion tube). 3. It is concluded that proteins stimulate abomasal secretion of acid.
