title: [Protein and amino acid metabolism in the gastrointestinal tract of young bulls. 3. Flow of NH3-free raw protein into the duodenum].
abstract: The amount of NH3-free crude protein getting into the duodenum corrected by the endogenous crude protein quota was determined on the basis of 28 differently composed rations for growing bulls in the live weight range of 140-460 kg provided with duodenal re-entrant cannulae. The experimental results were generalized by means of regression analysis and can be summarized as follows: The amount of NH3-free crude protein getting into the duodenum can partially be calculated with the regression equation (Formula: see text) resp. NH3-free crude protein D = 155 app. dig. org. matter + 0.262 pure protein +/- 42. The remaining dispersion amounts to +/- 6% of the mean value. The coincidence between the values calculated with these equations and those measured experimentally is very good. There is an interaction between the pure protein of feed getting into the duodenum in % of pure protein intake (y) and the bacteria crude protein D/kg app. dig. org. matter (x) characterized by the equation y = 116.8-0.52 x +/- 12.9. The amount of NH3-free crude protein duod. is not influenced by the flow rate (kg digesta/kg intake of org. matter) and not by the "dilution rate' (g bacteria free org. matter duod./kg live weight 0.75/h) either at a DM intake adequate to the production level. Apart from the partial estimation of the NH3-free crude protein duod. a evaluation based on the crude protein and pure protein concentration in app. dig. org. matter of the ration is possible.
