[Subacute butyric acid burden in cattle. 3. Clinical results and effect on the carbohydrate-fat metabolism, the liver function and the acid-base balance in fattening bulls].
A daily dose of 1.0 g/kg body weight (b.w.) of butyric acid was intraruminally applied to 7 fattening bulls (360 kg in b.w. for 3 weeks. This caused slight clinical disorders, primarily in the form of reduced b.w. gain, but more strongly pronounced changes in beta-OH butyrate and in free fatty acids, with concentrations of these rising in the first experimental week, returning to normal in the 2, and rising again in the 3rd. Glucose concentrations went up during the experiment, but its diurnal curve then was, typically, inversed against beta-OH butyrate. Signs indicative of impaired liver function were not recordable. Minor stresses on the acid-base balance were visible towards the end of the experiment.
