Influence of rumen escape starch on pancreatic exocrine secretion of goats

Abstract: Summary The objective of the experiment was to evaluate the effect of rumen escape starch (RES), accomplished by altering dietary starch concentrations on pancreatic exocrine secretion of goats. Four goats (36.8 ± 3.2 kg) with common bile duct re‐entrant and duodenal catheters were used in a 4 × 4 Latin square. Goats were fed diets containing 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% starch. Periods consisted of 10 day adaptation followed by 3 day of sample collection. Juice was collected in 1‐h fractions continuously for 72 h. T… Show more

“…The fact that serum amylase activities were higher towards the end of the study than during the first week is indicative of increased digestion of ruminal fermentation products and escape nutrients with age (Xu et al, 2009). The absence of a significant between-group difference in amylase activity is in line with our results in glucose and L-lactate values.…”

“…Starch assimilation in the small intestine of ruminants offers improved energy efficiency than that in the rumen (Harmon, 2009). However, the ability of ruminants to digest starch in the small intestine is limited, accounting for 55-78% of the amount entered when starch intake of goats varies from 150 to 450 g/day in our previous studies (Xu et al, 2006(Xu et al, , 2009unpublished data). Moreover, as the flow of starch increases to the small intestine, starch is digested with decreasing efficiency (Huntington et al, 2006), resulting in a loss of potential energy available for growth and milk production, and potential large intestinal acidosis.…”

“…In our previous experiment, feeding affected pancreatic exocrine secretion rate in sheep fed three times daily (Xu et al, 2009). In the present study, pancreatic exocrine secretion of goats fed in the morning and evening, respectively, would not be continuous.…”

“…Four yearling Guanzhong ewe goats (mean body weight ± SD, 31.2 ± 2.5 kg) were used in two 4 × 4 Latin square experiments, with animals allocated to square and treatments randomly. Under general anaesthesia, animals were surgically prepared with the common bile duct reentrant cannulas for quantitative collection of pancreatic juice as described by our previous report (Xu et al., 2009). Goats were withheld from feed for 48 h and water for 12 h before surgery.…”

“…Pancreatic juice samples were analysed for total protein concentration and activities of α‐amylase (Walker and Harmon, 1996), trypsin (Geiger and Fritz, 1986) and lipase. Detection kits (Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute, Nanjing, China) were used to analyse total protein concentration (Wang et al., 2008) and lipase activity (Xu et al., 2009). Enzyme activities were expressed in units (one unit is defined as 1 μmol product released per minute at 39 °C) per millilitre.…”
