Abstract
Changes in total hepatic and portal blood flow rates with feeding were observed during 24 hr in sheep by means of the para-aminohippuric acid (PAH) dilution method because there is little quantitative information on changes in blood passing through the liver. Blood flow rates in both veins increased significantly (P < 0.05) after the beginning of feeding while hepatic arterial blood flow tended to increase but was not statistically significant. Total blood volume passing through the liver was 4303 ± 2331/d (93.6 ± 7.21/kg BW/d) with contributions of hepatic arterial and portal venous blood being 21% and 79% of total daily hepatic blood flow in sheep, respectively.
