Extract

The effects of cannulation have not been widely studied in pigs. It is possible that digestive processes may be affected due to alterations in the gut micro-ecosystem and anaerobic conditions at the cannulation site. In studies where cannulated animals are used for digestibility measurements over the total tract as well as at the terminal ileum, it is important to determine if the process of cannulation can affect the results. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of cannulation on digestion in the pig by determining total tract digestibility of components from diets containing different raw materials (A-E) using both intact pigs and pigs fitted with simple T-pieces at the terminal ileum.
