[The influence of HCl administration on the activity of trypsin, alpha-amylase and lipase in different parts of the alimentary tract of piglets in the first three weeks of life].

Abstract

The experiments were conducted using 3 to 21 days old piglets. The content of animals stomach was supplemented with 0.18% HCl starting from the 3rd, 7th and 10th day of their life. The animals were dissected on the 4th, 7th and 11th day after HCl administration. The activity of trypsin, alpha-amylase and lipase was measured in homogenate from pancreas and duodenum and ileum contents. The presented results do not confirm the existence of significant differences between control and experimental animals.
