A technique is described for feeding young sheep for long periods entirely by the infusion of volatile fatty acids into the rumen and protein and other essential nutrients into the abomasum. When the energy infused was twice the estimated requirement for maintenance, growth rate and nitrogen retention were essentially the same as in normally-fed sheep.
