Net Metabolism of Hormones by Portal-Drained Viscera and Liver of Lactating Holstein Cows
Net flux of insulin, glucagon, somatotropin, somatomedin-C, and somatostatin across the portal-drained viscera and liver of four lactating Holstein cows was measured at 4 and 8 wk postpartum. Cows were fed ad libitum intake a 60:40 corn silage:concentrate diet and milked at 12-h intervals.

Whole blood and plasma amino acid transfers across the portal drained viscera and liver of the pig [PDF]
Whole blood (WB) and plasma (P) amino acid transfers across the portal drained viscera and the liver were determined during 6 h of a constant p-aminohippuric acid infusion in three hourly-fed Landrace x Large-White pigs (30.5 kg, mean live weight) surgically prepared with chronically inserted catheters in a mesenteric vein (MV), the portal vein (PV ...

Net Absorption of Macrominerals by Portal-Drained Viscera of Lactating Holstein Cows and Beef Steers
Net absorption of macrominerals by portal-drained viscera of cattle was measured in two experiments. In Experiment 1, net portal-drained visceral and liver flux of Na, K, Ca, P, and Mg were measured in four lactating Holstein cows fed a 60:40 corn silage:concentrate diet ad libitum and milked at 12-h intervals.

Strategies for optimizing nitrogen use by ruminants
The efficiency of N utilization in ruminants is typically low (around 25%) and highly variable (10% to 40%) compared with the higher efficiency of other production animals.

Visceral metabolism and efficiency of energy use by ruminants
The visceral system (liver and portal-drained viscera) represents an interface between diet and the animal, and it acts as the main site of regulation of nutrients that are used for maintenance, growth, lactation, reproduction, and physical activities of
