Example Sentences:
(1) The postileal digestibility of the crude carbohydrates (CC) of 14 rations calculated from the difference between total digestibility (faecal analysis) and precaecal digestibility (analysis of the ileal chyme of IRA pigs) showed that between 40 and 100 g (70 g on average) out of the 780 g CC per kg DM consumed disappear in the large intestine.
(2) There is not yet an answer to the question in how far comparative studies of INT and IRA animals make verified statements with regard to the differences in the energetic utilization of the precaecally and postileally digested nutrients possible.
(3) A regressively calculated difference of 17%-units was regressively calculated between the utilization of metabolizable energy of either precaecal or postileal origin.
(4) Mature ponies fitted with permanent ileal cannulas were used in a 3 X 3 Latin square experiment to quantify prececal, postileal and total tract digestion of hay protein.
(5) Apparent postileal N digestibility was 52.5% for CB, 65.7% for LA and 66.9% for HA.
(6) For partioning the digestible energy into a prececal and postileal component the diet was supplemented with 0.3% Cr2O3, and samples of digesta taken by means of a cecum cannula were analyzed for this marker.
