“…Forty crossbred beef steers (243 ± 2 kg BW) were fitted with abomasal cannula according to the procedure of Driedger et al (1970) with the following modifications. The cannulas were constructed of medicalgrade Tygon tubing (64 mm i.d., 80 mm o.d.)…”

Most animals adapt readily to increased supplies of carbohydrate in the intestinal lumen by increasing enzymes for degradation and increasing glucose transporter activity. However, the extent of upregulation of Na+-dependent glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1) activity and content in response to increased delivery of carbohydrate to the small intestinal lumen of ruminants is unclear. Therefore, an experiment was conducted to determine the effect of glucose and starch hydrolysate on the activity and abundance of SGLT1 in the small intestine of steers. In a randomized complete block design, 40 crossbred beef steers (243+/-2 kg BW) were fed 0.163 Mcal of ME/(kg BW0.75(d; W), 0.215 Mcal of ME/(kg BW0.75 x d; 2M), or 0.163 Mcal ME/(kg BW0.75 x d) and infused for 35 d into the rumen (R) or abomasum (A) with 12.6 g/(kg BW0.75 x d) of starch hydrolysate (S) or into the abomasum with 14.4 g/(kg BW0.75 x d) of glucose (G). Steers were slaughtered, and brush-border membrane vesicles were prepared from the small intestinal samples obtained from five equidistant sites along the intestine. Maltase activity in vesicles and homogenates differed with intestinal sampling site (quadratic, P < 0.001). Steers on the AG treatment yielded a greater intestinal maltase activity (38 nmol glucose x mg protein(-1) x min(-1)) compared with the AS, RS, W, or 2M treatments (34, 26, 23, and 23 nmol glucose x mg protein(-1) x min(-1) respectively [SEM = 3; P = 0.02]). Sodium-dependent glucose uptake averaged 18.4+/-3.94 pmol glucose/(mg protein x s) and was not affected by treatment, but uptake decreased distally along the intestine (P < 0.001). There was no effect of treatment on SGLT1 protein abundance, but SGLT1 protein abundance increased linearly from the duodenum to the ileum (P = 0.05). The inverse relationship between glucose uptake and SGLT1 abundance suggests that the regulation of brush border Na+-dependent glucose transport capacity is complex, involving factors other than the presence of luminal carbohydrate.

“…Some surgeons (Dougherty 1955) have described the application of rigid plastic cannula, while some (Driedger et al 1970) found a cannula made of rigid materials unsatisfactory and described the use of silicone medical-grade tubing for rumen and abomasal cannulae. They also reported that larger diameter abomasal cannulae were found to clog less frequently than small diameter catheters.…”

“…In sheep, access to the abomasum has been achieved through celiotomy with the exteriorisation of the abomasum, but this technique is invasive, requiring a right flank laparotomy, and the abdomen is typically closed in three layers (Driedger et al 1970). Laparoscopic procedures are minimally invasive surgical techniques that allow excellent observation, minimal incision, lower complication rates, rapid postoperative recovery, lower pain scores and improved patient convalescence compared with open surgical procedures (Davidson et al 2004;Babkine and Desrochers 2005;Hendrickson 2008;Jimenez Pelaez et al 2008;Dupre et al 2009).…”

Abomasal cannulation, an important research tool in experimental procedures, provides a method for the placement of an abomasal cannula in sheep. The aim of this study was to describe a technique for laparoscopic abomasal cannulation in sheep. It was performed in six anaesthetised sheep positioned in dorsal recumbency using three portals in the abdomen. The first absorbable traction suture was placed 1 cm cranial to the determined abomasal cannula site. A stab incision was made with a laparoscopic monopolar hook electrode in the middle of a purse-string suture placed around the abomasal cannula site. The T-shaped cannula was inserted into the abomasum lumen through the stab incision, and the second traction suture was then placed 1 cm caudal to the abomasal cannula site. The T-shaped abomasal cannula was pulled out of the abdominal cavity through the exit wound located 3-5 cm lateral and 10-12 cm cranial to the right side of the umbilicus. The two traction sutures were tied. The T-shaped cannula was secured to the skin with a finger-trap suture. Repeat laparoscopy was performed 1 month later. Firm adhesion between the abomasum and abdominal wall was observed in all sheep, with no evidence of leakage or peritonitis. No major intraoperative or postoperative complications were encountered. The median surgical time was 49 min, with a range from 42 to 58 min. The abomasal contents were collected easily. In conclusion, laparoscopic abomasal cannulation is safe and easy to perform. Its low complication rates and the "ideal" placement of the tube into the abomasum make it an especially attractive alternative to traditional surgical abomasal cannulation in veterinary practice.

The complexity of ruminant digestion necessitates a greater variety and complexity of experimental methods than with any other species. The fact that dietary ingredients are first subjected to microbial fermentation requires elaborate measures to ascertain nutrients presented for absorption. Numerous approaches have been attempted to obtain representative samples of digesta at sites throughout the gastrointestinal tract. The choices of a researcher before an experiment include animal(s), site(s) for cannula placement, style of cannula, cannula material, and numerous other more subtle factors that may contribute to the success of an experiment. This review compares the advantages and disadvantages of various approaches, cannula types, and cannula materials that should be considered before experiments are conducted.
