Abstract: | Three weeks of butyric acid applications (0.5 g/kg and 1.0 g/kg body weight) caused strong dose-dependent strains on the acid-base balance in young fattening bulls aged 4 months. Disorders were primarily reflected in changed net values of acid-base excretion in urine. Activity of alkaline phosphatase was found to depend strongly and directly on these changes. Drastic variations were recorded also from nitrogen metabolism. |
