Responses of Plasma Acetate Metabolism to Hop (Humulus lupulus L.) in Sheep
An isotope dilution method using [1-13C]sodium (Na) acetate was conducted to determine the effect of feeding hop pico breadboard kit (Humulus lupulus L.) residues on plasma acetate metabolism in six adult crossbred sheep.The sheep were fed 63 g/kg BW0.75/d of either mixed hay (MH-diet) of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) and reed canarygrass (P
