The relationships between intake and net portal fluxes of energy metabolites in ruminants: A meta-analysis

Résumé

In a research programme aiming at characterising the energy value of ruminant diets by the net portal energy fluxes in ruminants, the present work focused on the relationships between intakes of both dry matter (DMI) and digestible organic matter (DOMI) and the portal blood flow and the net portal fluxes of oxygen (O-2), volatile fatty acids, beta-hydroxybutyrate, glucose and lactate in sheep and growing cattle. Response equations were generated, expressed as a function of liveweight (LW), using meta-analysis on published that were compiled into the FLORA (FLux of nutrients through the Organs and tissues of Ruminant Animals) database and that investigated changes in intake at constant dietary metabolisable energy (ME) contents within experimental groups.. The experimental groups in the selected data set were predominantly adult sheep (n = 17), with nine experimental groups on growing cattle and only one experimental group on lactating dairy cows. Intake range was larger in sheep than in growing cattle (0-35 g/d/kg LW versus 0-23 g/d/kg LW, respectively), and the types of diets fed also differed, with sheep predominantly being fed forage-rich diets (60% of experimental groups). Blood flow and portal 02 consumption showed curvilinear relationships; however the response equations generated for nutrients were best described by linear relationships. With the exception of glucose net portal flux, 70-95% of variation was explained by the models generated. The magnitude of the response equations was largely different between species, and this may also include differences in diets and/or physiological state between the datasets. Both DMI and DOMI were good predictors of the influence of a change in intake level on net portal fluxes of energy metabolites. Subsequent work needs to focus on the influence of diet composition (i.e., dietary ME content). (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
