| Abstract: | This study was aimed to explore the effects of duodenal infusions of essential amino acid (EAA) on nitrogen balance and plasma urea nitrogen (PUN) of growing-finishing lambs.Five Kazakh male lambs with (29.40±1.76) kg body weights and 4 months old were chosen,fitted with duodenal cannulae and raised in metabolic cage individually. The 5×5 Latin square design was used in this experiment and 7 d for per period. The duodenal infusions in control group contained no EAA,that in 8EAA group contained 8 kinds of EAA,while that in -Arg,-Lys and -Met groups were contained 8 kinds of EAA without Arg,Lys and Met,respectively. The results showed that the fecal N excretion in 8EAA group was no significant difference compared with control group (P>0.05),while the urinary N,N retention,N apparent digestibility and PUN concentration were significantly increased (P<0.05).Compared with 8EAA group,the N retention in -Arg,-Lys and -Met groups were significantly decreased by 30.62%,11.56% and 12.99% (P<0.05),and the daily gain were decreased by 13.89%,7.78% and 6.58% (P>0.05),respectively. PUN concentration was increased in response to the removement of Met,Arg and Lys. In conclusion,Arg,Met and Lys had restricted effect to Kazakh lamb in actual fattening conditions. |
