[Subacute butyric acid burden in cattle. 1. Clinical results and effects on the carbohydrate-fat metabolism and the liver function of young fattening bulls].
Daily butyric acid doses of 0.5 g/kg body weight or 1.0 g/kg were intraruminally applied to 8 young fattening bulls together with regular feed rations, for 19 days, following an initial phase for adaptation. Indigestion phenomena were recordable from 30% of the animals, primarily on the early days of the experiment. Both doses produced sinusoidal beta-OH butyrate curves without major dose-dependent deviations. The concentrations of glucose and free fatty acids were indicative of temporary subclinical ketosis. Neither ASAT, ALAT, and gamma-glutamyltransferase nor bilirubin nor liver glycogen were indicative of liver damage. The lower dose of 0.5 g/kg was widely tolerated, but clearly discernible disorders developed in response to the higher dose of 1.0 g/kg of butyric acid.
