摘要: In a series of experiments the interaction between nutrition and energy- nitrogen metabolism West African Dwarf goats, infected with trypanosomes was studied. Animals were injected trypanosomes, feed intake, energy balance blood metabolites hormones measured for period six weeks post infection. Trypanosoma vivax infection caused fever anaemia. The degree anorexia, as indicated by ratio [dry matter intake during / dry before infection] differed animals. Some indications found relation MHC genotype ratio, but also environmental factors like stress age animals probably affected this ratio. Trypanosome reduction retention, decreasing gross increasing maintenance requirements 28 %. This increased requirement mainly related to fever. Blood biochemical parameters reflected undernourished state No an quality offered diet course respect metabolism; instead, effects trypanosome additive. Also no occurred nutritional history (as growth retardation which had developed prior infection) subsequent metabolism.
