Title: VERIFICATION THAT AN IN VIVO KINETIC MODEL GIVES ACCURATE RESULTS FOR PROPIONATE AND GLUCOSE METABOLISM IN CATTLE
Abstract:A four-pool, in vivo kinetic model (blood glucose and CO 2 and rumen propionate and CO 2 ) was proposed for propionate and glucose metabolism in Holstein steers.

Two daily perturbations were 6.1 mol dietary propionate and 1.18 mol glucose excreted. Calculated solutions indicated 6.6 mol propionate added and 1.10 mol glucose excreted.
