[The effect of flavomycin on digestion in fattening bulls].
Three friesian bulls (Genotype 31) were fitted with re-entrant cannulas at the duodenum to investigate the influence of a flavomycin supplement of the digestion in the forestomachs and the other parts of the digestive tract. The supplement of flavomycin increased the total digestibility of the organic matter. The digestibility of starch and sugar was between 97% and 98%. The balance of the nutrients in the digestive tract shows, that by flavomycin supplementation the degradation of organic matter and crude protein in the fore stomach was decreased and the amount of the organic matter and crude protein in the gut was increased. The balance of the amino acids in the gut showed that after flavomycin ca. 30 g more amino acids were found in the gut. The synthesis of bacterial protein in the forestomachs was, after flavomycin application, slightly reduced as was the degradation rate of the feed protein.
