Abstract
A ration of 600 g chopped hay and 150 g ground sorghum is given twice daily to sheep fitted with a rumen cannula and a duodenal reentrant cannula. /sup 141/Ce flow rate at the duodenum and in the feces is compared to flow rate of stained hay particles after ingestion of a single labelled meal. After an adaptation period during which both daily meals are labelled, variations in /sup 141/Ce concentration are then measured in the duodenal and fecal dry matter. The tracer is used to estimate dry mater digestibility indirectly. Duodenal data show that the mean retention time of /sup 141/Ce in the rumen is about 15% less than that of stained particles. The meal after the radioactive one momentarily depresses /sup 141/Ce excretion rate while it accelerates that of the stained particles. Mean retention time in the whole gastro-intestinal tract of a meal of 600 g chopped hay 150 g ground sorghum is 40.4+-3.8 h or 32.4+-3.7 h, depending on whether stained particles or /sup 141/Ce is used. All the /sup 141/Ce ingested is recovered in the feces. Mean recovery of /sup 141/Ce in the feces excreted during 200 hours after dosage is 100.2+-5.0%. After a period of
