The composition of the digesta leaving the abomasum of sheep

Abstract: The digesta entering the abomasum of sheep consist of the residual products of the fermentations that proceed in the rumen and reticulum, which pass through the omasum to the abomasum where they are diluted and subjected to peptic digestion by the gastric juice secreted by the gastric glands of that viscus.

“…As the estimated total daily output of acid gastric juice is 5-0 1. (Masson & Phillipson, 1952;Hill, 1960), the pyloric secretion appears to be of little significance in so far as neutralization of the abomasal content is concerned.…”

“…It is known, however, that the herbivores, especially those with ruminant stomachs, secrete considerable amounts of gastric juice daily (Kuznetsova 1950;Masson & Phillipson 1952)-even more than in the non-herbivores-and since the cephalic phase of gastric secretion is either absent or unimportant in the herbivores (Popov 1932 ;Espe & Canon 1937), the voluminous secretion of juice in these species would necessarily require a large production of gastrin. In herbivores too, the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the gastric juice appears to be less than is found in the non-herbivores (Grosser 1905 ;Masson & Phillipson 1952;Duke 1955), suggesting that the acid inhibition of gastrin production described by Dragstedt (1957), Posey, Smith, Turner & Aldridge (1965) and recently reiterated by Grossman (1968) would be less in the herbivores than in the non-herbivores. If, therefore, the herbivores could be viewed as producing more gastrin, it is not improbable that more gastrin would be stored in their gastric antra, particularly if the rate of release of the hormone relative to synthesis is lower in the herbivores than in the non-herbivores.…”
