[The influence of HCl administration on the acidity and the activity of enzymes in the stomach contents of suckling piglets].

Abstract

After HCl administration to 3-21 day old crossbred piglets (wbp x pbz x złotnicka biała) the total acidity and output of acidity, the activity of pepsin, alpha-amylase and lipase were measured in the stomach content. The activity of pepsinogen was estimated in piglet's serum. The results do not indicate the significant influence of HCl on the acidity and the activity of enzymes in the stomach content.
