| Abstract: | The effect of mucous bacilli on the excretory activity of pancreas in pigs has been investigated. The use of biomass at doses of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 g/kg stimulates to a different extent the pancreatic exocrine function in pigs: the pancreatic juice volume increases, on the average, by 17-20% and the secretion of amylolytic, proteolytic and lipolytic enzymes of the pancreatic juice becomes 1.6-2.2, 1.5-1.8 and 1.4-1.7 times higher, respectively. The increased functional activity of pancreas indicates the high reserve secretory potential of the pancreatic secretory apparatus. When brought into action, this apparatus favours more complete segregation and absorption of food nutrients. |
