Abstract

A comparison was made between the rate of passage of digesta through the digestive tract of pigs with an ileo-rectal anastomosis (IRA) or an Heal T-cannula according to the single marker dose method by using polyethylene glycol (PEG) as liquid marker, Cr2O3 as solid phase marker and Yb2O3-mordantedcell walls as fibre marker. The rate of passage was slightly faster with IRA than with cannulated pigs.
