In ruminal drinkers (RD) ingested milk is transported into the rumen and not into the abomasum. Because this is followed by changes in digestibility and absorption, we have tested whether this is associated with postprandial metabolic and endocrine changes. Unweaned, bucket-fed calves (one RD, two controls) were studied on seven farms. On d 1, after metabolic and endocrine 12-h profiles were studied, RD and one control calf were fed for 10 d by nipple, whereas the other control calf was fed by bucket. On d 11, metabolic and endocrine 12-h profiles were again studied. On d 1, mean plasma concentrations of glucose, triglycerides, urea, insulin, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) and leptin were significantly different between RD and controls, whereas mean concentrations of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), total protein, albumin, and glucagon did not differ significantly among groups. In RD concentrations of glucose, NEFA, insulin, growth hormone, IGF-1, and T4 were higher, and of urea were lower on d 11 than on d 1. Glucose and insulin concentrations increased postprandially in healthy calves on d 1, but barely in RD and remained lower than in controls, and there was no rise of NEFA and triglyceride concentrations on d 1 after the initial postprandial decrease in RD, in contrast to controls. But on d 11 postprandial responses of these four traits were similar in RD and controls and urea and T4 concentrations on d 11 became normalized. However, glucose and T3 concentrations in RD on d 11 were still lower than in one or both control groups. In conclusion, various metabolic and endocrine traits in RD differed from healthy controls. Drinking by floating nipple instead of drinking from bucket for 10 d normalized several metabolic and endocrine traits in RD.
