Abstract
The descending portion of the duodenum of 6 Holstein calves less than 24 hours old was cannulated. Sequential biopsy specimens of the proximal jejunal mucosa were obtained every other day for 3 weeks. Lactase activity in the mucosal specimens was determined and was highest at day 1, but decreased with age. Mean lactase activity was significantly (P less than 0.05) higher for days 1, 3, 5, and 7, compared with days 19 and 21.Entities:
