Portal absorption of 15N and amino nitrogen in the growing pig after ingestion of labelled milk, yogurt or heat-treated yogurt.
The aim of this experiment was to study 15N and amino-nitrogen (AN) portal absorption in the growing pig after ingestion of uniformly (0.2509 APE) labelled 15N milk (M), yogurt ingested just after manufacturing (Y0), yogurt stored for 21 d at 4 degrees C (Y21) and heat-treated yogurt (HY). The highest porto-arterial differences (PAD) in 15N and AN were found in the period between 30 min and 90 min after ingestion. The absorption of nitrogen from M and HY mainly occurred during the 0-120 min time period (about 70% for M and 67% for HY). For Y0 and Y21, a larger displayed absorption period over the 0-240 min time period was observed. Y0 and Y21 presented a quite similar portal absorption profile. The 15N absorption rate was close to 80% for each studied milk product, suggesting that under our experimental conditions, dairy products (M, Y0, Y21 and HY) deliver nearly the same amounts of nitrogen to the organism. AN absorption rates were around 78% with a higher variability between the milk products. These results also indicate that most of the proteins were absorbed within the 240 min postprandial period.
