Synthesis and Testing of Glucose Derivatives for Feeding to Ruminants

摘要: Glucose compounds were synthesized and tested for resistance in a 48-h vitro rumen fermentation. complexed with formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acetone was resistant. When propionic succinic acids, the products readily fermented. The resistant also withstood acid hydrolysis at pH similar to that of abomasum. This suggests these would have little value as dietary source glucose ruminants if release animal depended on possibility enzymatic glucose-formaldehyde compound studied feeding trial sheep. Eight Finncross wethers fed formaldehyde product three quantities their diet. Blood urine plus blood, urine, fecal total soluble carbohydrate measured. It appears this resists fermentation but does not become metabolically available sheep indicated by large excreted feces.
