Abstract
SUMMARYThe rate of disappearance of injected acetate from the vascular system of sheep fed lucerne chaff is much more rapid than that of sheep fed wheaten chaff.Animals feeding on green pasture respond to injected acetate in a manner similar to those eating lucerne chaff, whereas animals on dry pasture respond like those on wheaten chaff.Within two days of changing from a diet of wheaten to lucerne chaff the tolerance to acetate characteristic of a lucerne chaff diet can be observed. A longer time is required for the alteration in tolerance when sheep which had been eating lucerne chaff are changed to wheaten chaff.Possible factors involved in the nature of the diet and their effect on the ability of the sheep to utilize acetate are discussed.
