Abstract

Synopsis The effect of starving cockerels and geese for 8 d followed by re‐feeding on plasma glucose, FFA and triglycerides has been studied. In both species plasma glucose concentration fell while FFA concentration rose during starvation. The fall in plasma glucose was followed by a secondary gradual increase. Re‐feeding caused a rebound in plasma glucose, and restored the FFA to its initial concentration. Plasma triglycerides were not affected by starvation in either species. Re‐feeding was followed by a rise in plasma triglycerides in geese only.
