1. Six pigs, initially of 35 kg mean live weight, were each fitted with a re-entrant cannula. This was formed on either side of a short pouch of duodenum into which the pancreatic duct opened and which contained a simple cannula linked to the centre of the re-entrant cannula.

2. Each pig received two diets: diet A was based on wheat starch, sucrose and casein, while diet B was based on barley and soya-bean meal. The diets were given in equal amounts at 12 h intervals.

3. Digesta and pancreatic juice were collected continuously during three 12 h periods for each pig on each diet.

4. Mean duodenal output: dietary intake values for diets A and B respectively were: digesta 1·80, 2·86; dry matter 1·05, 1·03; nitrogen 1·05, 1·06; trichloroacetic acid (TCA)-soluble N 7·69, 9·10; glucose 0·97, 0·89. For diet A the proportion of TCA-soluble N in total N rose from 13 to 50% during 12 h, while it was approximately 50% throughout 12 h for diet B.

5. Mean total pepsin (EC 3.4.23.1) activities (units/24 h) were 760449 (diet A) and 1466571 (diet B).

6. Salivary and gastric secretions were calculated to be approximately 4 and 8 kg/24 h for diets A and B respectively.

7. Mean flows in pancreatic juice (g/24 h) for diets A and B respectively were: juice 1204, 2182; protein 10·94, 12·10; N 1·98, 2·14; ash 9·46, 17·31; sodium 3·88, 6·91; potassium 0·23, 0·54: calcium 0·031, 0·046; phosphorus 0·024, 0·026.

8. Mean total enzyme activities (units × 10−3/24 h) for diets A and B respectively were: trypsin (EC 3.4.21.4) 138, 114; chymotrypsin (EC 3.4.21.1) 84, 84; carboxypeptidase A (EC 3.4.2.1) 5, 4; carboxypeptidase B (EC 3.4.2.2) 15, 17; amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) 1061, 981.

9. It was calculated that the minimum amount of endogenous N from saliva and gastric secretion was 0·3–0·6 g in 24 h. This assumes no absorption of N occurred anterior to the duodenal cannula.
