Abstract

The seasonal concentration of nitrogen (N) and nitrogen metabolism in rumen digesta and blood serum were measured in two rumen fistulated moose. Concentration of N and nitrogen metabolism in the rumen and blood varied seasonally. Concentration of protein N and metabolic processes in rumen digesta were highest in spring through summer and lower in autumn; the converse was true in blood serum. These seasonal differences were related to the variation in nutritional content of seasonal forage.
