Abstract
Meat is an appropriate source of proteins and minerals for human nutrition. Technological treatments modify the physical-chemical properties of proteins, making them liable to decrease the nutritional potential of meat. To counteract this damage, antioxidants and chaperone proteins in muscle cells can prevent oxidation, restore the function of denatured proteins, and thus prevent aggregation. This study aimed to explore the impact of indoor vs outdoor-reared meat protein composition on digestion and to associate protein markers to in vitro digestion parameters. Indoor-reared meat tended to show less oxidation and denaturation than outdoor-reared meat and was characterised by an overexpression of contractile and chaperone proteins. Outdoor-reared meat showed amplification of antioxidant and detoxification metabolism defending against oxidised compounds. Impacts on digestion remained minor. Several protein markers of in vitro digestion parameters were found for aged and cooked meat, linked to the detoxification process and to muscle contraction.

Abstract
Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of corn particle size (CPS) on site and extent of starch digestion in lactating dairy cows. Animals were fitted with ruminal, duodenal, and ileal cannulas. Dry corn grain accounted for 36% of dry matter intake. In experiment 1, 6 cows were used in a duplicate 3 x 3 Latin square design. Semiflint corn was used. Corn processing methods were grinding, medium rolling, and coarse rolling. The mean particle size of the processed corn was 730, 1807, and 3668 microm, respectively. Rumen digestibility of starch linearly decreased from 59% with ground corn to 36% with coarsely rolled corn. Similarly, small intestine digestibility linearly decreased with increased CPS, and consequently, the amount of starch digested in the small intestine was not affected by corn processing. In experiment 2, 4 cows were used in a 2 x 2 crossover design. Dent corn was used. Corn processing methods were grinding and coarse rolling. The mean particle size of the processed corn was 568 and 3458 microm, respectively. Rumen digestibility of starch decreased from 70% with ground corn to 54% with coarsely rolled corn. Small intestine digestibility of starch was not significantly affected by CPS, and the amount of starch digested in the small intestine tended to be greater for rolled than for ground corn. In both experiments, starch total tract digestibility decreased with increased CPS. In conclusion, CPS is an efficient tool to manipulate rumen degradability of cornstarch. In midlactation cows, the decrease in the amount of starch digested in the rumen between grinding and coarse rolling is partly compensated for by an increase in the amount of starch digested in the small intestine with dent genotype, but with semiflint genotype postruminal digestion is not increased and rumen escape starch is not utilized by the animal.

Abstract
In Trial 1, three wethers were equipped with ruminal and caecal cannulas, catheters in the right ruminal and caecal veins and a mesenteric artery, as well as blood flow probes around the right ruminal and caecal arteries. Blood samples were collected every 15 min from 30 min before to 60 min after the injection of 9 μmol of folic acid and vitamin B12 per kilogram body weight (BW) in the rumen and after injection of half this dose in the caecum. There was a net release of these vitamins from the rumen shortly after the injection (P < 0.05). In Trial 2, four wethers were equipped with a ruminal cannula, catheters in the right ruminal, mesenteric and portal veins and a mesenteric artery and blood flow probes around the right ruminal and the mesenteric arteries and the portal vein. Blood samples were taken 30 and 60 min before, and 30, 60, 120, 180, 240 and 300 min after the intraruminal injection of 0.32 g of folic acid and 0.98 g of vitamin B12. In Trial 3, blood samples were taken from two wethers previously used in Trial 2, before and 10, 40, 70 and 100 min after the intraruminal injection of 0.32 g of folic acid. These intraruminal injections led to a net release of the vitamins from the mesenteric and portal-drained viscera (P ≤ 0.17) but also from the other gastrointestinal tissues, probably mostly from the duodenum. Therefore, in sheep, the main site of absorption for folic acid is the proximal intestine whereas the absorption of vitamin B12 appears in a more distal part of the small intestine. Key words: Sheep, folic acid, vitamin B12, absorption

Abstract
Different methodologies for the measurement of peptide amino acid (PAA) in blood and plasma were compared in sheep. Preparation of blood and plasma samples consisted of a deproteinization, either chemical with sulfosalicylic acid (0.04 g for 1 ml of sample) or physical by ultrafiltration (10,000-MW cut-off filters), with or without a subsequent ultrafiltration through a 3,000-MW cut-off filter. Peptide concentrations were determined by quantification of amino acid concentrations before and after acid hydrolysis of samples. Free amino acid concentrations were similar by all the method used (about 2.5 and 2.7 mM, for blood and plasma respectively). Peptide concentrations were higher with chemical deproteinization (10.6 and 4.2 mM, for blood and plasma respectively) than with physical deproteinization (5.7 and 3.3 mM, for blood and plasma respectively). When the deproteinized samples were further treated to remove material of molecular weight above than 3 kDa, peptide concentrations were significantly reduced, which indicates inefficiencies in the ability of the deproteinizing procedures in removing all the proteinaceous materials. Concentration of small PAA (< 3 kDa) in blood was about 1.5-fold that in plasma, mainly due to peptide Gly and Glu derived from the hydrolysis of the erythrocyte glutathione. The choice of a methodology for quantifying circulating peptides is discussed.

Abstract
We assessed the effects of nutrient supply and dietary bulk, both increasing with hay intake, on O2 uptake and nutrient net fluxes across the portal-(PDV) and mesenteric- (MDV) drained viscera, and the rumen in adult ewes. Four ewes, fitted with a ruminal cannula, with catheters in the mesenteric artery, the portal, mesenteric and right ruminal veins, and with a blood flow probe around the right ruminal artery, were used in a 4 x 4 Latin square design. Treatments consisted of 500 g DM/d hay (LL, low bulk and low nutrient supply), 500 g DM/d hay + infused nutrients (LH, low bulk and high nutrient supply), 750 g DM/d hay + infused nutrients (MH, medium bulk and high nutrient supply), and 1,000 g DM/d hay (HH, high bulk and high nutrient supply). Infused nutrients consisted of volatile fatty acids (VFA) and casein dissolved in salts and infused continuously in the rumen to provide the same amount of metabolizable energy (7.6 MJ/d) and digestible protein (63 g/d) for LH, MH, and HH. Both increases in bulk and nutrient supply increased O2 uptake in the MDV and PDV. Dietary bulk stimulated mainly blood flow, whereas nutrient supply stimulated mainly O2 extraction rate. The O2 uptake by the rumen was not significantly affected by hay intake, although blood flow increased due to nutrient supply. Increase in hay intake had no effects on portal net release of lactate and net uptake of glucose but increased VFA, 3-D-hydroxybutyrate, ammonia, and amino acids (AA) net release and urea net uptake across PDV. The increase in portal nutrient net fluxes with hay intake was entirely related to the increase of nutrient supply for VFA, 3-D-hydroxybutyrate, ammonia, and urea, irrespective of the amount of casein infused for AA. Dietary bulk had no effect on total energy net release in the portal vein. We conclude that despite the increase in portal O2 uptake, increasing dietary bulk had no significant impact on portal recovery of energy. In ruminal tissues, which were the main site of energy absorption, O2 uptake appeared low and was not sensitive to dietary manipulation. In contrast, in mesenteric tissues, which contribute poorly to energy absorption with forage diets, O2 uptake appeared high and very sensitive to dietary manipulation.

Abstract
Two methodologies for the measurement of peptide amino acids (PAA) in blood were compared to evaluate their effects on the measurement of the net flux of peptides across the gastrointestinal tract of sheep. These methods consisted of a chemical deproteinization of blood samples with sulfosalicylic acid (1.6 M, 0.1 ml for 1 ml of sample) or perchloric acid (1 M, 1 ml for 1 ml of sample) followed by ultrafiltration through a 3,000-Da cut-off filter (SSA + UF3 kD) or gel filtration through a Sephadex G-15 column (1,500-Da cut-off filter; PCA + G-15), respectively, prior to PAA analysis. Peptide concentrations as determined by amino acid concentrations before and after hydrolysis of samples were slightly greater with the SSA + UF3 kD (991 microM) than with the PCA + G-15 (605 microM) methodology. However, both methodologies gave similar net portal-drained viscera flux data in sheep fed on alfalfa pellets with histidine as the only significant uptake of peptide amino acid.

Abstract
In study 1, four cows had a ruminal canula, a catheter in the right ruminal vein and an ultrasonic flow probe around the right ruminal artery; a catheter was placed in the auricular artery on experimental days. Blood samples were taken every 10 min from -20 to 60 min after ruminal infusion of 5.79 mmol pteroylmonoglutamic acid and cyanocobalamin. There was a net release of these vitamins across the rumen wall following the infusion (P=0.06). In studies 2 and 3, four cows had catheters in the portal, one hepatic and two mesenteric veins and one mesenteric artery. Plasma flow was determined using p-aminohippurate. In study 2, blood samples were taken before and every 30 min for 6 h after feeding 0 or 4 mg of pteroylmonoglutamic acid. Flow of folates through the portal-drained viscera (PDV) and the total splanchnic tissues (TSP) tended to increase with the ingestion of pteroylmonoglutamic acid (P=0.19). In study 3, blood samples were collected every 30 min for the first 3 h to calculate plasma flow and basal net fluxes of folates and vitamin B12. The cows were fed 2.6 g pteroylmonoglutamic acid and 500 mg cyanocobalamin; blood samples were taken every 2 h for 24 h. Vitamin supplements increased the net release of folates and vitamin B12 from PDV (P=0.04) and TSP (P=0.13). The present results demonstrate that, in dairy cows, at doses reported to improve animal performance, passage of pteroylmonoglutamic acid to the portal blood appears during the 6 h following its ingestion, whereas for cyanocobalamin, it is a slow process, not yet completed 24 h after its ingestion.

Abstract
We investigated whether short-term underfeeding could induce adaptative mechanisms in portal-drained viscera (PDV) that would allow nutrients to be spared for vital functions in adult ewes. Six ewes (three of them fitted with catheters in the mesenteric artery and portal and mesenteric veins) were fed, in a double Latin square design (2 weeks per experimental period), a regrowth of natural grassland hay at 143 (high; H), 88 (medium; M) and 51 (low; L) % of their energy maintenance requirements. The digestibility of the diet was measured in all six ewes and the net portal fluxes of nutrients in the three catheterized ewes. The organic matter content and N digestibility of the diet were not affected by underfeeding. Urinary and faecal N losses and N balance were linearly related to feed intake. Arterial concentration of acetate was linearly related to feed intake. Arterial concentrations of the other volatile fatty acids, 3-hydroxybutyrate, lactate, glucose, NH3, urea and total amino acids were not affected by underfeeding. Arterial concentration of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) increased with underfeeding. The portal net release of all volatile fatty acids, 3-hydroxybutyrate and NH3 were linearly related to intake. The portal net flux of both essential and non-essential amino acids, and thus total amino acids, remained unchanged between levels H and M, and decreased between levels M and L. A significant net uptake for glycine and total non-essential amino acids occurred at level L. The portal net uptake of glucose, urea, glutamate and glutamine, and the portal net release of lactate and NEFA were not affected by underfeeding. Summation of portal energy fluxes indicated that 51% of the metabolizable energy intake was recovered in the portal blood with the three levels of intake. In conclusion, no quantitative adaptation to spare energy, in terms of percentage of intake, occurred in PDV of short-term underfed ruminants, but the pattern of absorption of energetic nutrients was modified.

Abstract
This experiment was conducted to determine the significance of the peptide amino acid (PAA) contribution to amino acid (AA) net flux in the portal vein and to evaluate the capacity for peptide absorption in the different segments of the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants. Four sheep (64+/-3 kg BW) were fitted with catheters and blood flow probes, allowing AA net flux measurements across the portal- (PDV) and mesenteric (MDV)-drained viscera and the rumen. Sheep were fed at maintenance a diet containing hay and extruded peas (70:30). Peptide absorption was investigated by a dose infusion of a mixture of peptides (casein hydrolysate, Pro-Phe, beta-Ala-His, Gly-Gly) into the rumen. Control and postinjection net fluxes of plasma free amino acids (FAA) and PAA were determined. The concentration of plasma PAA was determined by quantification of amino acids before and after acid hydrolysis of samples first submitted to chemical deproteinization and ultrafiltration (3-kDa cut-off filter). During the control period a significant net release (12 mmol/h) of PAA was observed across the PDV, which accounted for 35% of the sum of FAA and PAA net fluxes. This PDV flux of PAA mainly resulted from a MDV release of PAA (15 mmol/h). The net flux of total PAA across the ruminal wall was not significantly different from zero, but uptake of peptide Ile and release of peptide Gly were observed. The injection into the rumen of the peptide mixture increased the net release of peptide essential AA (EAA) across the MDV (P < .05) and the PDV (P < .10), and of peptide Pro and Phe across the non-MDV (P < .10). Peptide Ile uptake by the rumen tissues was decreased by the injection (P < .05). Significant increases in peptide Pro and Gly arterial concentrations were observed (P < .05). The 3-Ala-His and Gly-Gly arterial concentrations and net fluxes across the PDV were not affected by their injections into the rumen. This study showed that PAA may contribute significantly to AA flux across the PDV of sheep, and that part of this flux can probably be attributed to peptide absorption from the gut lumen. When high concentrations of peptides are generated in the rumen the possibility of peptide absorption before the jejunum has to be considered.

Abstract
Four ewes, each fitted with a rumen cannula and with catheters in the mesenteric artery and portal and mesenteric veins, received continuous intrarumen infusions of water or of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA). SCFA infusions were isoenergetic (83 kJ/h) and provided rumen molar proportions (acetate:propionate:butyrate) of 70:20:10, 50:40:10 or 50:20:30. The rumen SCFA production rate with the basal diet was 90.0, 23.1 and 8.8 mmol/h for acetate, propionate and butyrate respectively. Portal net fluxes indicated that 74, 67 and 22-30% of infused acetate, propionate and butyrate respectively, reached the portal vein. Portal net release of beta-hydroxybutyrate increased with SCFA infusions, irrespective of the amount of butyrate infused. Portal net release of lactate decreased with high-butyrate infusion. Portal net uptake of glucose increased with the SCFA infusions. In ewes infused with water, a portal net uptake of total amino acids (AA) was observed. SCFA infusions decreased the uptake of nonessential AA (glutamate, glycine, but not glutamine) and increased the net release of tyrosine and essential AA (isoleucine, leucine). Portal net fluxes of AA were similar with both high-acetate and high-propionate infusions. Lower net uptake of glutamine and net release of most essential AA and some nonessential AA were observed with the high-butyrate infusion. Energetic summation of portal net release was not significantly different between the three SCFA infusions, although it tended to be lower with high-butyrate infusion. This may be related to the higher trophic effect of butyrate on the digestive mucosa.

Abstract
The possibility of free amino acid (FAA) and peptide absorption across the ruminant stomach wall was studied in multicatheterized wethers fed every 12 h. During the last third of the feeding cycle, two intraruminal or intraomasal injections of solutions containing increasing amounts of Ser, Gly, Val, Met, Phe, Lys, and carnosine were successively performed. Before injections, a net uptake of each of these FAA was measured in the ruminal and the gastric veins. The ruminal injections produced a linear increase in ruminal FAA concentration. The highest ruminal concentrations (observed with 3 g of FAA and carnosine) ranged between 5 and 14 mM. After ruminal injections, Ser (P < .05), Gly (P < .05), Val (P < .05), Met (P < .10), and Lys (P < .10) uptake decreased and carnosine net release linearly increased (P < .05), suggesting absorption across the ruminal epithelium. Owing to the low net flux generated by high ruminal concentration, the ruminal epithelium permeability to these molecules seemed to be low. After omasal injections, net flux of injected FAA were not modified, suggesting a low permeability of the gastric epithelia to FAA. Carnosine net release linearily increased (P < .05) with increasing level of carnosine injection, indicating the possibility of dipeptide absorption at the gastric level. This study demonstrated in vivo that the stomach epithelia possess the capacity to absorb FAA and small peptides; however, the permeability of these epithelia to these molecules seemed limited.

Abstract
Our objective was to validate the use of an ultrasonic transit-time flowmeter for the measurement of portal blood flow (PBF) in sheep. Data recorded with this technique were compared with those obtained with an indicator dilution method, and probes were calibrated in vivo. Wethers were fitted with catheters in the portal, jejunal, and ruminal veins and in a mesenteric artery. Ultrasonic flow probes were implanted around the portal vein: S-series probes in three wethers, and A-series probes in four wethers. The PBF measured with A-series probes was within 10% of that measured by indicator dilution, but PBF measured with S-series probes were 52 to 77% of that determined by indicator dilution. In vivo calibration indicated that A-series probes provided accurate measurement of PBF (absolute accuracy: 5%+/-zero flow error). In conclusion, an ultrasonic transit-time flowmeter, with an A-series probe, can be used to reliably measure PBF in sheep.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the differences in concentrations of various metabolites between blood and plasma, and their implications for the measurement of portal net fluxes in ewes. A wide range of concentrations of metabolites in arterial and portal blood was induced by submitting three ewes to three different levels of intake. Plasma measurements underestimated the portal drained viscera net flux for acetate, glucose, ammonia and urea but not for beta-hydroxybutyrate. The underestimation of net release was low and largely constant for acetate (7%). The net flux of glucose tended to be overestimated by plasma measurements when it was low, but was underestimated by 25% when high net uptake occurred. The underestimation of net fluxes of ammonia and urea increased with their magnitude, up to 17% for ammonia release and 41% for urea uptake.

Abstract
Texel wethers (68 +/- 2.5 kg BW) fitted with catheters in the ruminal veins and a mesenteric artery, blood flow probes on ruminal arteries, and a ruminal cannula were fed 500 g of orchardgrass hay every 12 h. During the last third of the feeding cycle, intraruminal injections were performed to evaluate the effect of urease activity, osmolality, and concentrations of NH3, butyrate, and CO2 in the rumen on urea and NH3 fluxes across the rumen wall. At pH 6.7, NH3 absorption increased with NH3 and butyrate concentrations in the rumen, and to a lesser extent with CO2 concentration. The increase in ruminal blood flow associated with CO2 and butyrate increase was always greater than the increase in NH3 absorption. Increasing ruminal osmolality slightly decreased NH3 absorption. Ruminal NH3 concentration and ruminal blood flow seemed to be the main determinant of NH3 absorption. Decreasing urease activity in the rumen decreased urea net transfer. The net transfer of urea to the rumen was stimulated by CO2. High concentrations of NH3 (330 mg of N/L) and butyrate (25 mM) in the rumen decreased urea net uptake, whereas osmolality (up to 420 mOsmol/L) did not affect it. Modifications in ruminal blood flow or water net movement across the ruminal wall did not seem to account for the effect of CO2, NH3, and butyrate on urea net uptake.

Abstract
Four Texel wethers (68 +/- 2.5 kg BW) fitted with catheters in the ruminal veins and a mesenteric artery, blood flow probes around ruminal arteries, and a ruminal cannula were used to determine meal-related variations and daily significance of net flux across the ruminal wall of urea and ammonia (NH3), VFA, D-beta-hydroxybutyrate (D beta HOB), lactate, and glucose. Sheep were fed every 12 h with orchardgrass hay (430 g of DM/meal; 611 g of digestible OM/kg of DM and 23.6 g of N/kg of DM). Apart from lactate and glucose, the fluxes of studied metabolites were significantly affected by time after morning feeding. Maximum absorption of VFA and NH3 were observed at the end of the meal; however, 5 h after the meal VFA absorption was still high, whereas NH3 absorption had decreased to the prefeeding level. Net release of D beta HOB was greater during the 2 h after the meal than during the rest of the time. Urea net transfer decreased during the meal, and thereafter it increased to the 5th h after feeding, at which time it was twofold higher than at prefeeding. The difference in net flux across the ruminal wall of urea and NH3 was linearly correlated with NH3 concentration in the ruminal fluid. Daily urea and NH3 net transfer were -2.10 and 3.76 g of N/d, respectively. The VFA net appearance in the ruminal veins was 1.167, .226, and .014 mol/d for acetate, propionate, and butyrate, respectively. Daily net release of D beta HOB, lactate, and glucose by the rumen wall was .153, .093, and -.012 mol/d, respectively.

Abstract
Eight wethers were used to test the technique. Silicone rubber catheters were introduced into both ruminal veins so that their tips lay a few centimeters from the splenic vein. Arterial blood flow to the rumen was measured by an ultrasonic transit-time flow meter with 3-mm probes implanted around the left and right ruminal arteries. No loss of patency of the venous catheters was observed before slaughter (2 to 6 mo after surgery). There was no evidence of extensive vascular trauma due to catheterization at postmortem examination. In vivo calibration of the flow probes showed that reliable measurements could be made until at least 6 mo after implantation. With an accurate method of blood flow measurement in ruminal arteries and guaranteed long-term catheter patency, it would be possible to make reliable estimates of nutrient uptake across the ruminal wall of sheep over an experimental period of several months.
