[Effect of different-sized rations on the physiology of the digestive and metabolic processes in sheep].
Tested was the effect of differently sized rations with sheep supplied with fistulae. The change in the size of the ration was said to bring about a change in the physiology of the digestive and metabolic processes as well as of the lung ventilation. The almost twice lowered size of the normal ration did not improve digestion and conversion when the ration had an improper structure. At an appropriate structure, though with a greater size the ration did not lower the level of the digestive and metabolic process, while the coefficients of digestibility substantially rose. It is believed, however, that the distribility coefficients alone cannot reflect thoroughly the physiology of digestion.
