Abstract

It was found that during the emergence of calves that are 36 hours old from the state of natural respiratory-metabolic acidosis a gradual increase of concentrations of most of free amino acids in blood plasma, stabilization of the ammonia level and the decrease of the urea content are observed. The peculiarity of the amino acid pool of blood plasma of calves that have never been fed with the colostrum yet is high level of alanine and glycine that subsequently decreases and may indicate the increase of the gluconeogenesis intensity in the liver. Probably, the decrease of the urea concentration and increase of the ammonia content in the blood of intact calves that are 36 hours old is caused by the activation of anabolic processes in tissues in the conditions of the normalization of the blood acid-base parameters and by the beginning of the functioning of kidneys.

Disorders of the acid-base status (ABS) in the form of uncompensated acidosis are extremely widespread in newborn calves. The artificial simulation of the metabolic acidosis state during the first 36 hours of life in calves expresses in a significant increase of the pool of most of free amino acids, especially ketogenic amino acids, with the increase of the urea and ammonia level in the blood. The last may indicate the increase of the intensity of the deamination reactions of amino acids in tissues and decrease of the synthetic abilities of the organism. These changes more and more aggravate the state of acidosis.

Thus, the increase of the Н+concentration in the internal environment of the organism causes changes in the amino acid pool of blood plasma in the newborn ruminants. It certainly will effect on the intensity of the endogenous synthesis of proteins, including the autosynthesis of antibodies and immunity formation.
