title: [Glucose content of lambs' blood. 2. Blood glucose content during several hours after feeding].
abstract: During a 16-hour fasting period, the development of the blood glucose level of ewelessly reared lambs of 4 to 30 days of age was analysed. While the blood glucose level of lambs during their first week of life reacted with a considerable increase and a relatively quick decrease on the administration of milk substitutes, the course of this curve became smoother with increasing age. After a five-hour fasting period, the blood glucose level--after 4 days of the lambs' life--amounted to 101 mg, after 9 days to 96 mg, after 16 days to 91 mg, after 23 days to 64 mg, after 30 days to 71 mg per 100 ml blood. The significance of these results for the establishment of a suitable drinking technology is being discussed.
