Oxygen consumption by splanchnic tissues of sheep under mesenteric load of N compounds
Small Ruminant Research(2018)
Abstract
•The splanchnic tissues contribute a high proportion of whole-animal oxygen consumption.•The impact of the N load on liver oxygen consumption was evaluated in male sheep fed a tropical grass forage.•The oxygen consumption by liver was not directly impacted by ammonia or amino acids load.•The blood flow across the organ seems to have a key role on its oxidative metabolism.
