Effect of glucose infusion on glucose and insulin metabolism in early- and mid-lactation ewes and goats fed diets differing in starch and highly digestible fiber concentration

Effect of glucose infusion on glucose and insulin metabolism in early- and mid-lactation ewes and goats fed diets differing in starch and highly digestible fiber concentration

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to test possible metabolic differences between ewes and goats in response to an intravenous glucose infusion. Thirty-six animals, 18 mature Sarda dairy ewes and 18 mature Saanen goats (from 15 to 150 ± 11 d in milk [DIM], mean ± SD; body weight: 49.8 ± 6.8 kg for ewes, 60....
