Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the production, absorption and passage of ruminal acetate and butyrate in sheep and measure the dietary metabolizable lipogenous substances (MLS) under 1.0 M energy level. Six Inner Mongolian semifine-wool wethers (1.5-old-year) and fitted with a ruminal and a duodenum cannula were used to measure the MLS by simulating continuous feeding and pulse-continuous infusion technology of non-isotope labeled acetate and butyrate solutions. Rumen steady state was obtained through eight equal portions feeding daily. The results showed that under 1.0 M energy level, the principal production rate of ruminal acetate and butyrate in sheep were 61.66 and 23.04 mmol/h, respectively; the absorption rate of ruminal acetate and butyrate were 47.86 and 17.86 mmol/h, respectively; the passage rate of ruminal acetate and butyrate were 14.52 and 5.19 mmol/h, respectively; the fractional absorption rate of ruminal acetate and butyrate were 76.33% and 77.52%, respectively. Dietary MLS measured in this experiment is 135.69 g/d.
