Abstract: | The small intestines of 31 mature crossbred gilts were infused with endotoxin through permanent jejunostomies. A total of 86 infusions were done. The endotoxin was absorbed after 4 infusions. Evidence of absorption included variations in body temperatures, decline in white blood cell counts, detection of the endotoxin in circulating blood plasma samples by a limulus amebocyte lysate gelation test, and abnormal clinical signs. endotoxin placed in the small intestines of normal, healthy, mature gilts does not readily cause illness. |
