Abstract
Promotion of microbial butyrate production in the reticulorumen is a widely used method for enhancing forestomach development in calves. Additional acceleration of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) development, both the forestomach and lower parts of the GIT (e.g., abomasum, intestine, and also pancreas), can be obtained by dietary butyrate supplementation. For this purpose, different sources (e.g., butyrate salts or butyrins), forms (e.g., protected or unprotected), methods (e.g., in liquid feed or solid feed), and periods (e.g., before or after weaning) of butyrate administration can be used. The aim of this paper was to summarize the knowledge in the field of butyrate supplementation in feeds for newborn calves in practical situations, and to suggest directions of future studies. It has been repeatedly shown that supplementation of unprotected salts of butyrate (primarily sodium salt) in milk replacer (MR) stimulates the rumen, small intestine, and pancreas development in calves, with a supplementation level equating to 0.3% of dry matter being sufficient to exert the desired effect on both GIT development and growth performance. On the other hand, the effect of unprotected butyrins and protected forms of butyrate supplementation in MR has not been extensively investigated, and few studies have documented the effect of butyrate addition into whole milk (WM), with those available focusing mainly on the growth performance of animals. Protected butyrate supplementation at a low level (0.3% of protected product in DM) in solid feed was shown to have a potential to enhance GIT development and performance of calves fed MR during the preweaning period. Justification of this form of butyrate supplementation in solid feed when calves are fed WM or after weaning needs to be documented. After weaning, inclusion of unprotected butyrate salts in solid feed was shown to increase solid feed intake, but the effect on GIT development and function has not been determined in detail, and optimal levels of supplementation are also difficult to recommend based on available reports. Future studies should focus on comparing different sources (e.g., salts vs. esters), forms (e.g., protected vs. unprotected), and doses of supplemental butyrate in liquid feeds and solid feeds and their effect not only on the development of rumen, abomasum, and small intestine but also the omasum and large intestine. Furthermore, the most effective source, form, and dose of supplemental butyrate in solid feed depending on the liquid feed program (e.g., MR or WM), stage of rearing (e.g., pre- or postweaning), and solid composition (e.g., lack or presence of forage in the diet) need to be determined.

Abstract
Protein level in the maternal diet plays a crucial role in fetal programming during pregnancy. Low or high protein level increases the risk of intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). The aim of this study was to investigate the structural and functional development of the small intestine in piglets from sows fed a control (C, 12.1% protein), a high protein (HP, 30% protein), or a low protein (LP, 6.5% protein) diet during pregnancy. Newborns were classified as IUGR (birth weight ≤1.18 kg) and non-IUGR (birth weight >1.18 kg). The piglets were euthanized on postnatal day (PD)1, PD28 and PD188. The LP diet in non-IUGR neonates resulted in decreased body weight on PD1. The LP and HP diets resulted in both decreased body weight and delayed catch-up growth in the IUGR piglets. The HP and LP-diets increased the length of villi on PD1 in non-IUGRs but not in IUGRs. At birth, the expressions of Ki67 and active caspase 3 in mid-jejunum epithelium of HP and LP non-IUGR neonates were significantly lower as compared to C non-IUGRs whilst in IUGRs the respective expressions were as high as in C non-IUGRs. The postnatal dynamics of brush border enzyme activities and vacuolated enterocytes disappearance showed significant drop in enterocyte maturation in IUGR as compared to non-IUGR neonates. In conclusion, both HP and LP diets led to retarded development of non-IUGR piglets. In IUGR piglets both HP and LP diets resulted in delayed catch-up growth, without adaptive changes in brush border digestive enzymes.

Abstract
The effect of sodium butyrate (SB) supplementation in milk replacer (MR) or in starter mixture (SM) or in both MR and SM on performance, selected blood parameters, and rumen development in newborn calves was determined. Twenty-eight male calves with a mean age of 5 (±1) d were randomly allocated into 1 of 4 groups (7 animals per group) and fed (1) MR and SM, both without SB (MR(-) and SM(-), respectively); (2) MR(-) and SM supplemented with SB encapsulated within a triglyceride matrix (SM(+), 0.6% as fed; 30:70 butyrate-to-triglyceride matrix); (3) MR supplemented with crystalline SB (MR(+), 0.3% as fed) and SM(-); or (4) MR(+) and SM(+). The MR was offered in an amount equal to 10% of the initial body weight (BW) of each calf. The SM was blended with whole corn grain (50/50; wt/wt) and offered ad libitum as a starter diet (0.3% encapsulated-within-triglyceride matrix SB when SM(+) was fed) from the first day of the trial. Calves were slaughtered at d 21 of a trial (mean age 26±1 d). Addition of SB into MR (MR(+)) positively affected BW and average daily gain, tended to decrease the number of days with electrolyte therapies from d 0 to 7, and tended to positively affect fecal consistency from d 8 to 14 of the trial. Inclusion of SB into SM (SM(+)) increased starter diet intake from d 15 to 21, decreased the number of days with scours, and tended to decrease the number of days with electrolyte therapies in the whole trial period. Both MR(+) and SM(+) increased plasma glucose in the whole trial period and MR(+) increased total serum protein at d 14. The SM(+) increased plasma glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) concentration at d 7 of the trial when compared with the concentration at d 0. Both MR(+) and SM(+) increased reticulorumen weight and papillae length and width. Based on these results, it can be concluded that addition of SB in MR positively affected BW gain, health, and some metabolic intermediates of calves and it stimulated rumen development indirectly, whereas SB supplementation in SM stimulated rumen development directly. Addition of SB both in MR and SM could be recommended for rearing calves.

Abstract
Young calves have to deal with at least three major situations that require profound physiological and digestive adaptations: adaptation to extra-uterine life (up to the first postnatal week), maintenance at a pre-ruminant stage over a long period (3 to 5 months or more), and weaning. This paper reports results obtained on the development (growth and differentiation) of the gastrointestinal tract, and on digestive enzyme activities as well as some aspects of the regulation by gut regulatory peptides. In the newborn calf, the maturation of the small intestine depends on pregnancy duration (preterm vs. full term) and ingestion of colostrum from first milking. The function of gut enterocytes evolves along with the changes from fetal to adult enterocytes. The origin of dietary protein in pre-ruminant and weaning calves modifies SI morphology. Chymosin, elastase II and lactase are typical postnatal enzymes, whereas pepsin, ribonuclease and amylase become important especially following weaning. Nitrogen digestibility increases during the first month of life and is modified by replacement of skim milk powder with non-milk proteins. Milk formula supplementation with Nabutyrate increases pancreatic secretions and digestibility. The gastrointestinal tract development depends on gut regulatory peptides plasma and luminal concentrations. The response to exogenous peptides is in relation with their number and type of functional receptors and with the animal age. Experimental work with young ruminants is important not only for the species involved, but also for its implications to other mammalians.

Abstract
Nutritional programming, regulation and some ways for prevention/treatment to ameliorate or normalize adverse outcomes of programming are discussed. Epidemiological studies in human and animal experiments showed that nutrition during fetal and neonatal life may lead to related disorders in adulthood. But several argues may question its validity arising the question of the adequate models used to reproduce human situations. Protein level in milk formula intake by infant during neonatal life is discussed. Body weight at birth reflects the product growth trajectory during fetal life. Low birth weight is considered as the result of an adverse growth trajectory and is often associated with later metabolic diseases in adult age. But, the sum of prenatal growth trajectory, rapid growth in early infancy (catch up growth), early adiposity rebound in childhood must be considered to determine the origins of later diseases in adulthood. The review focuses the regulation of nutritional imprinting on hormonal and epigenetic mechanisms which are complementary. The HPA axis and GH-IGF axis may have a crucial role in the regulation induced by nutritional programming. The persistent alterations seem to be a consequence, at least in part, of elevated insulin levels during "critical periods" of pre- and early postnatal development. Also, leptin seems to play an important role in this complex system. New knowledge about these mechanisms involved suggest the development of new, rational, and effective preventive and/or therapeutic options before and/or after birth. Thus, early infancy may provide an opportunity for intervention aimed at reducing later disease risk.

Abstract
Rumen development is an important factor determining early solid feed intake and performance in cattle. A popular trend towards early weaning of newborn dairy calves necessitated looking for ways of accelerating the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) development. The present study aimed to determine the effect of sodium butyrate (NaB) supplementation in milk replacer and starter diet on rumen development in rearing calves. Fourteen bull calves (5-day-old) were randomly allocated to two groups: Control (C) and NaB. The later received 0.3 % NaB in milk replacer and starter diet. Animals were in experiment up to age of 26 days. Addition of NaB to milk replacer and starter diet had no effect on daily growth rate, but reduced the weight loss observed in C calves in first 11 days of age. Additionally, the NaB calves weighed more at the end of the study and tended to have higher growth rate in the whole trial period (P<0.15). The NaB calves showed a tendency toward higher reticulorumen weight (P=0.13) and higher reticulorumen weight expressed as a percent of whole stomach weight (P=0.02) as compared to control. Histometry analysis indicated larger rumen papillae length and width (P<0.01) in NaB group, and no change in muscle layer thickness, as compared to control. Plasma glucagon-like peptide-2 relative increase was higher in NaB group than in C group, and may be involved in rumen development. In conclusion, supplementation of the diet (milk replacer and starter diet) with NaB may enhance rumen development in neonatal calves.

Abstract
The effects of the first meals on the release of seven gut regulatory peptides were studied in newborn calves fed colostrum either at serial intervals during the first day of life or at 28 h only. Fasted animals showed no significant variation of plasma peptides until the first feed, except for somatostatin, which peaked at 4-5 h and declined thereafter. As assessed before and 1 h after feeding, the first meal tended to induce rises in plasma gastrin, cholecystokinin and pancreatic polypeptide, while the other peptides were unaffected. Repeated colostrum feeds induced marked increases in plasma gastrin, cholecystokinin, secretin and vasoactive intestinal peptide from 10 h on. Pancreatic polypeptide was transiently increased from 4 to 16 h. Feeding was followed by a transitory reduction of plasma somatostatin and by a prolonged decrease of plasma motilin. We conclude that colostrum feeding potently modulates the release of several regulatory peptides shortly after birth in calves. These responses may be important for the adaptation of gut growth, secretions and motility to food ingestion in the neonatal period.

Abstract
Our recent studies of structure and function of gastrointestinal tract mucosa revealed that the domestification of Sus scrofa corresponds with the significant slowing of the organ development. On top of genetic potential, the nutritional factors (or more precisely - lack of certain biologically active substances in the feed of pregnant sows) are responsible. Moreover, feeding neonates with milk replacers instead of mother's milk further slows down the development. This is manifested by reduced mitotic activity in the crypts and enhanced apoptosis of enterocytes. The negative effects consist of slower replacement of fetal type, vacuolated enterocytes to adult type enterocytes, modified profile of brush border enzymes, alterations in intestinal mucosa barrier, higher susceptibility to infectious agents, and many others. On the other hand, farmers in order to intensify the production, shorten the suckling period imposing the neonatal piglets to be weaned at 3-4 weeks of life and even earlier. Altogether, it makes the weaning disorders one of the most important problems in pig husbandry, and the mortality of piglets in the leading pig-producing countries still reaches 10%. A number of strategies have been developed to counteract the post-weaning problems. One of them is to stimulate the development of the gastrointestinal tract of the neonate by supplementation of the sow diet with certain biologically active substances and plants. The other idea is to speed up the postnatal development of the gut mucosa for example by plant lectins. Lessons from pig studies can be also useful in human nutrition and medicine since the development of porcine gastrointestinal tract shows a great similarity to that of humans.

Abstract
Feeding of neonates with artificial milk formulas delays the maturation of the gastrointestinal mucosa. Na-butyrate has a complex trophic effect on the gastrointestinal epithelium in adults. The present study aimed to determine the effect of milk formula supplementation with Na-butyrate on the gut mucosa in neonatal piglets. Sixteen 3 day old piglets were randomly divided into two groups: control (C, n = 8), and Na-butyrate (B, n = 8). Animals were feed for 7 days with artificial milk formula alone (C) or supplemented with Na-butyrate (B). At the 10(th) day of life the piglets were sacrificed and whole thickness samples of the upper gut were taken for analyses. Administration of Na-butyrate led to significant increase in daily body weight gain as compared to control. In the duodenum, the villi length and mucosa thickness were reduced, however, in the distal jejunum and ileum, the crypt depth, villi length and mucosa thickness were increased in Na-butyrate supplemented piglets as compared to control. Supplementation with Na-butyrate did not affect the intestinal brush border enzyme activities but increased plasma pancreatic polypeptide and cholecystokinin concentrations. These results suggest that supplementation with Na-butyrate may enhance the development of jejunal and ileal mucosa in formula-fed piglets.

Abstract
Intestinal diseases in neonatal calves may be due to morphological and functional immaturity. We have studied histomorphology, crypt cell proliferation rates (based on incorporation of 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine into DNA), presence of apoptotic cells (based on terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated X-dUTP nick end labeling), and brush border enzyme activities in preterm calves (277 d of gestation), euthanized on d 1 (P0) or 8 (P8), and in full-term calves (290 d of gestation), euthanized on d 1 (F0) or 8 (F8). Vacuolated epithelial cells were present in ileum of P0 and F0 but not in P8 and F8. During the first 8 d, villus sizes, crypt depths, and proliferation rates of crypt cells in the small intestine of preterm calves did not significantly change. In contrast, in full-term calves during the first 8 d, villus sizes in jejunum decreased, crypt depths increased in small intestine and colon, and crypt cell proliferation increased in duodenum and jejunum. Submucosal thickness in jejunum was highest in P0, but in ileum it increased with gestational age and feeding. Gestational age x feeding interactions indicated increased activities of aminopeptidase N and reduced lactase activities only in F8 and reduced dipeptidylpeptidase IV activities only in P8. In conclusion, in preterm calves the small intestinal epithelium was immature and brush border enzyme activities differed in part from those in full-term calves.

Abstract
The neonatal development of the gastrointestinal tract around parturition in precocious mammals is greatly affected by endocrine factors like glucocorticoids as well as by nutritional factors. We have studied the effects of glucocorticoids and colostrum supply on intestinal morphology, cell proliferation, digestive enzyme activities, and xylose absorption in neonatal calves to test the hypothesis that the intestinal development in neonatal calves is influenced by glucocorticoids, dependent on colostrum feeding. Calves designated GrFD(-) and GrFD(+) were fed a milk-based formula, whereas those designated GrCD(-) and GrCD(+) received colostrum. Dexamethasone (DEXA; 30 microg/kg/day) was injected at feeding times to calves of GrFD(+) and GrCD(+). On day 3, the D-xylose absorption was measured. The calves were euthanized on day 5 of life. Colostrum feeding increased villus sizes in jejunum and ileum, enhanced xylose absorption capacity, and increased peptidase activities in the ileum. DEXA treatment diminished sizes and cell proliferation rates of Peyer's patches in the ileum, yet increased proliferation of crypt cells in the ileum of formula-fed calves. DEXA reduced aminopeptidase N activities in the jejunum of formula-fed calves, but increased the peptidase activities mainly of colostrum-fed calves in the ileum. Thus, DEXA effects depended on intestinal segment and on different feeding, resulting in stimulation of crypt cell proliferation in the less mature ileum (of formula-fed calves) and in stimulation of peptidase activities in the more mature ileum (of colostrum-fed calves). We conclude that the effects of DEXA were related to the developmental stage of the neonatal intestine and promoted the intestinal development, depending on the developmental stage.

Abstract
Leptin, a hormone produced and secreted by adipose tIssue, muscles and stomach, is involved in the regulation of adipose tIssue mass, food intake and body weight in neonatal animals. It is also produced in the mammary glands and secreted into the colostrum and milk. Since leptin receptors are widely distributed in the small intestine mucosa, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of exogenous leptin on the development of the small intestine in neonatal piglets. Male neonatal piglets were fed with sow's milk or artificial milk formula. Every 8 h the latter received either vehicle or leptin (2 or 10 microg/kg body weight). The animals were either killed after 6 days of treatment and the small intestine sampled for histology and brush border enzyme activities or were tested for marker molecule (Na-fluorescein and BSA) absorption in vivo. Feeding milk formula slowed the maturation of small intestinal mucosa compared with feeding sow's milk. However, after leptin treatment the length of the small intestine was increased, and intestinal villi length, but not crypt size, was reduced compared with controls. The mitotic index was increased and the percentage of vacuolated enterocytes was reduced in the entire small intestine. Enterocyte brush border protease and lactase activities were reduced in the jejunum. Na-fluorescein marker molecule absorption did not change but that of BSA was reduced 3.8-fold. In conclusion, exogenous leptin administered in physiological doses reversed the maturation of the small intestinal mucosa to the range found in sow-reared piglets.

Abstract
We studied the effects of amounts of colostrum consumed on intestinal morphology and proliferation and digestive enzyme activities in neonatal calves. Group GrCmax calves were fed colostrum from the first milking undiluted on d 1-3 and diluted with 25, 50, 75 and 75 parts of a milk replacer on d 4-7. Group GrC1-3 calves were fed colostrum from milkings 1-6 up to d 3 and then a milk replacer up to d 7. Group GrF1-3 calves were fed a milk-based formula (containing only traces of growth factors and hormones) up to d 3 and then a milk replacer up to d 7. Calves were killed on d 8. Differences in feeding affected villus sizes and villus height/crypt depth ratios in the duodenum (GrCmax > GrC1-3), villus areas and villus height/crypt depth ratios in the jejunum (GrC1-3 > GrF1-3) and crypt depths in the colon (GrF1-3 > GrC1-3). Furthermore, different feeding protocols affected the proliferation rates of epithelial cells in the duodenum (GrC1-3 > GrCmax; GrC1-3 > GrF1-3) and the jejunum (GrF1-3 > GrC1-3; based on Ki-67 labeling). Lipase activities in the pancreas were influenced by colostrum feeding (GrC(max) > GrC(1-3)). Colostrum intake differentially affected intestinal epithelial surface and proliferation and enzyme activities. Feeding high amounts of first colostrum seemed to enhance the survival of mature mucosal epithelial cells in selected parts of the small intestine, whereas the lack of colostrum seemed to decrease epithelial growth.

Abstract
In bovine species, as in human, the pancreas predominantly expresses cholecystokinin-B (CCK-B)/gastrin receptors. However, the role of this receptor in the regulation of meal-stimulated pancreatic enzyme release has not been determined. In milk-fed calves, we previously described prandial patterns of exocrine pancreatic secretion and a long prefeeding phase was observed. The present study was aimed at determining both the role of external stimuli in the outset of the prefeeding phase and the implication of pancreatic CCK-A and CCK-B/gastrin receptors in the mediation of pancreatic response to feeding. The first objective was studied by suppressing external stimuli associated with food intake (unexpected meal) and the second by infusing highly specific and potent antagonists of CCK-A (SR 27897) and CCK-B/gastrin (PD 135158) receptors during the prandial period. When calves were given an unexpected meal, the long prefeeding increase in pancreatic secretion was absent. SR 27897 (but not PD 135158) inhibited the preprandial phase and greatly reduced postprandial pancreatic juice and enzyme outflows. The expectancy of a meal seemed to elicit an increased pancreatic response right before a meal and CCK-A receptors may mediate this information via neural pathways. The implication of CCK and CCK-A receptors in mediating the postfeeding pancreatic response was also demonstrated. The participation of CCK-B/gastrin receptors in this regulation was not demonstrated.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of CCK on the upper gut and pancreas microstructure and on pancreatic juice secretion in neonatal calves assessed by a repetitive intraduodenal administration of FK480, a CCK-A receptor antagonist, during the first 6 days of life. The experiment was performed on 10 neonatal calves surgically fitted with a pancreatic accessory duct catheter and duodenal cannulas. Calves were sacrificed on day 7 for tissue sampling. Treatment with FK480 resulted in: reduction of preprandial pancreatic juice secretion at days 1-3, smaller size of pancreatic acini and number of cells per acinus, reduction in intestinal crypt depth (except in the duodenal bulb), numerous modifications of intestinal villi length and width, lower mitotic index of crypt cells, and increased number and size of enterocytes with 'empty vacuoles'. In conclusion, the blockade of CCK-A receptors during early life both reduced pancreatic exocrine secretion and induced complex changes in pancreatic microstructure. The influence of CCK on the upper gut microstructure in neonatal calves could be either direct via activation of CCK-A receptors located in the mucosa of the upper gut or indirect by modulation of the secretion of pancreatic juice.

Abstract
In order to determine which physiological functions can be regulated by the pancreatic CCKB/gastrin receptor, studies were carried out on pancreatic acini from mice expressing transgenic CCKB/gastrin receptors in the exocrine pancreas (ElasCCKB mice). Acini were stimulated by sulfated gastrin in the presence of SR 27897 (1.8 microM), blocking endogenous CCKA receptors. After 30 min incubation with gastrin, the secretion of chymotrypsinogen and amylase showed superimposable monophasic dose-response curves. Enzyme secretion was detectable and maximal at 100 pM and 1 nM of gastrin, respectively. No increase in chymotrypsinogen and amylase mRNAs was detected for doses of gastrin which specifically occupy the CCKB/gastrin receptor. In contrast, gastrin stimulated total protein synthesis in isolated acini from ElasCCKB mice. [35S]Methionine incorporation into total proteins was increased dose-dependently to a maximum for 30 pM gastrin and inhibited with higher doses (> 300 pM). Gastrin stimulated p70 S6 kinase activity for concentrations ranging from 10 pM to 1 nM. Gastrin-stimulated p70 S6 kinase activity and protein synthesis were blocked by rapamycin and wortmannin. Therefore, in ElasCCKB mice acinar cells, the CCKB/gastrin receptor mediates enzyme release and protein synthesis. However, a more efficient coupling of the CCKB/gastrin receptor to protein synthesis than to enzyme secretion was demonstrated. CCKB/gastrin receptor-stimulated protein synthesis likely results from an enhancement of mRNA translation and involves phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase and p70 S6 kinase.

Abstract
A predominance of the pancreatic cholecystokinin (CCK) receptor of the B/gastrin subtype (CCK-B/G) was reported in calves older than 1 month. Specific CCK-A and CCK-B/G receptor antagonists (SR 27897 and PD 135158, respectively) were used to identify the CCK receptor subtype involved in exogenous CCK- and gastrin-induced exocrine pancreatic responses. Conscious calves (2 months old) with catheterized pancreas, jugular vein and duodenum were used; the pancreatic juice was continuously reinfused. CCK (30 pmol kg-1 min-1, 40 min) evoked an increase in pancreatic juice flow and enzyme secretion, while the same dose of gastrin increased enzyme secretion alone. CCK-induced pancreatic secretion was abolished by SR 27897 (15 nmol kg-1 min-1, 55 min) and reduced by PD 135158 (0.15 nmol kg-1 min-1, 55 min). Gastrin-induced enzyme secretion was reduced by PD 135158 (50% to 90%) and to a lesser extent by SR 27897 (50% to 60%). These results demonstrate that CCK and gastrin in the physiological range stimulate pancreatic exocrine secretion in calves and that these effects are partly mediated by CCK-B/G receptors. Although CCK-A receptors are not predominantly expressed, they seem to play a major role in the response of pancreatic exocrine secretion to CCK.

Abstract
This review summarizes recent advances in knowledge on the development of digestive tissues and their productions as well as mechanisms of regulation in response to age and ingested food in mammalian species (mainly bovine and porcine species). In the first two sections, changes are reported for stomach, pancreas and small intestine, and examined in relation to different situations (colostral, milk feeding and weaned periods). The implication of some regulatory substances (growth factors, gut regulatory peptides and neurohormonal substances) in regulation mechanisms is discussed over these periods. For example, the plasma pattern of several gut regulatory peptides and the expression of their specific receptors could explain certain phenomena of digestive development. Recent cellular and molecular aspects of regulation of the digestive enzyme production are also reported. Finally, an approach to interactions existing between age and ingested food is given in the last section. In conclusion, although some phenomena are well established, it is often difficult to distinguish what the age- and food-dependent events are in the development of the digestive function.

Abstract
Local and temporal expression of CCK(A) and CCK(B)/gastrin receptor genes was studied in the calf with a quantitative Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) method. Cerebral cortex, antrum, fundus, gall bladder, pancreas and liver were analyzed in calves at 0, 2, 7, 21, 28 and 150 days of age. Cerebral cortex and pancreas expressed both receptor genes with a ratio between CCK(A) and CCK(B)/gastrin receptor transcripts varying according to the age. Gall bladder and fundus showed an exclusive expression of CCK(A) and CCK(B)/gastrin receptor mRNAs, respectively, with the highest levels of transcripts in newborn and 28-day-old calves. The rank order for CCK(A) receptor mRNA expression was gall bladder > pancreas > cerebral cortex >>> antrum and that for CCK(B)/gastrin receptor mRNA expression was cerebral cortex / pancreas / fundus >> antrum. No CCK(A) and CCK(B)/gastrin receptor mRNA was detected in liver, regardless of the age of calves. The present data represent a basis for a better understanding of the ontogeny of physiological functions linked to the CCK(A) and CCK(B)/gastrin receptors.

Abstract
Several gut regulatory peptides were measured by radioimmunoassay between 3 and 9 months of gestation in the plasma of 91 bovine fetuses and their dams, in fetal gastric content and in amniotic fluid. During gestation, plasma peptide concentrations did not change in cows. Likewise, fetal plasma concentrations of cholecystokinin, somatostatin, secretin and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide showed no variation while those of gastrin, pancreatic polypeptide and gastric inhibitory polypeptide increased during the last 6 months. Peptide levels in the fetus were higher than or equal to maternal concentrations. At 8-9 months of gestation, gastrin, CCK, secretin and somatostatin concentrations in amniotic fluid were lower than those measured in fetal gastric content and in maternal and fetal plasma. Therefore, a substantial endogenous endocrine production of regulatory peptides by the fetus probably exists as early as the third month of gestation, accompanied by a release into the lumen of the gut.

Abstract
Exocrine secretion from the pancreas and concentrations of cholecystokinin, gastrin, secretin, and somatostatin in plasma were measured in relation to feeding in 70- to 120-d-old preruminant calves fed either a milk diet or a soybean diet. Pancreatic fluid was continuously collected, measured, and reintroduced in catheterized calves. Blood samples were withdrawn for measurements of gut regulatory peptide concentrations in plasma. A slight increase in outflow of pancreatic fluid was observed 30 min before the milk diet was introduced but not before the soybean diet was fed. In contrast, concentrations and outflows of protein and trypsin immediately after feeding were higher when calves were fed the soybean diet. Overall, during the first 5 h postfeeding, the outflow of pancreatic fluid was 40% higher when the milk diet was fed than when the soybean diet was fed. No difference in outflow of protein was observed, but that of trypsin was 82% higher when the soybean diet was fed. This enhanced enzyme secretion could have been related to the increased plasma concentrations of gastrin and cholecystokinin after the soybean diet was fed. Secretin release was less in calves fed the milk diet that in calves fed the soybean diet during the first 2 h postfeeding, suggesting that this gut peptide along with gastrin and cholecystokinin, contributed to the stimulation of enzyme secretion. Plasma gut regulatory peptides could be influenced by the soybean diet, which does not coagulate in the stomach, inducing faster gastric emptying of protein and fat, and by the chemical form of protein from the soybean diet and the lower susceptibility of these proteins to protease compared with casein. However, the resulting enhancement of pancreatic trypsin secretion and activity seemed to be insufficient to increase the digestibility of soybean protein up to a level similar to that of milk.

Abstract
Four preruminant calves with implanted electrodes in the duodenum and a catheter in the external jugular vein were used for investigation of plasma gut regulatory peptide profiles during different phases of migrating myoelectric complex (MMC) in the small intestine. The effects of different dietary proteins on the rhythmic activity of gut peptides and gastrointestinal motility were compared. In particular, the effects of skimmed-milk protein (retaining physiological patterns of abomasal clotting, and abomaso-intestinal digesta flow) v. fish protein (devoid of clotting activity and modifying the digesta flow) were studied. In calves fed on the milk diet, plasma concentrations of pancreatic polypeptide, motilin, secretin, cholecystokinin (CCK) and somatostatin, but not vasoactive intestinal polypeptide or gastrin, fluctuated in phase with the duodenal MMC in the preprandial period. Feeding transiently affected the intestinal MMC and abolished the peptide fluctuations in a specimen-specific manner. In contrast, calves fed on the fish-protein diet showed more profound changes in intestinal MMC. In these animals the MMC-related fluctuations were significant only for plasma CCK. In conclusion, the source of dietary protein has an impact on the physiological endocrine function of the small intestine. Observed fluctuations of plasma gut regulatory peptides seem to be secondary to duodenal motility cycles.

Abstract
The kinetics of the peripheral plasma concentrations of eight gut regulatory peptides were examined in response to feeding in preruminant calves. Two experiments were carried out in animals fed milk substitutes either based on milk protein (control diet) or in which casein had been replaced by hydrolyzed fish (fish diet in experiment 1) or whey (whey diet in experiment 2) protein concentrate. In contrast to the control diet, the latter two did not coagulate within the abomasum. No variation was observed in plasma concentrations of gut regulatory peptides during 1-1.4 hr before the morning meal regardless of the nature of the dietary protein. With the control diet, the meal was followed by an increase in cholecystokinin, gastrin and gastric inhibitory polypeptide and a fall in secretin, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide and motilin, whereas no significant change was observed for somatostatin and pancreatic polypeptide. The replacement of casein by protein substitutes did not greatly modify the pattern of plasma responses to feeding, but the prefeeding and postfeeding levels were highly affected. We conclude that the most important characteristic influencing plasma gut peptide concentrations is the ability of dietary protein to clot in the abomasum, consequently determining the pattern of gastric emptying, and that variations appear depending on the origin of protein substitutes in relation to the duodenal content and mainly to the digesta pH.

Abstract
Little information is available on the expression of pancreatic elastase I and II, despite their role in protein milk digestion. We studied the developmental changes and the effects of diet composition on both elastase I and II expression in suckled and weaned piglets. We measured their activities and levels of their corresponding mRNA. Forty-two piglets were assigned to seven groups according to age and diet. Piglets were slaughtered at birth (Group 1), or suckled up to 13 d (Group 2) or 21 d (Group 3), fed a milk substitute from 14 to 21 d (Group 4) or to 56 d (Group 7), suckled up to 21 d and then fed a dry starter up to 56 d (Group 5), or fed a milk substitute from 14 to 21 d and then a dry starter up to 56 d (Group 6). At 21 d pancreatic function was not modified by the source and the form of milk consumed. The specific activity of elastase II was maximum at birth and declined sharply thereafter, whereas that of elastase I markedly increased after weaning. The presence of milk protein in the diet did not prevent the sharp decrease in elastase II activity observed with age. During the 13 d period of suckling sow's milk, the mRNA patterns indicated that the regulation was at the mRNA and post-transcriptional levels, whereas after weaning and depending on the source of dietary protein, it was essentially translational and/or post-translational. Taken together, our results provide evidence of the early expression of elastase I and II genes that could enhance protein digestion. It seems that elastase II might be a predominant pancreatic protease during the milk-feeding period, whereas elastase I might be related to weaning.

Abstract
The specific regulation of pancreatic elastase I and II mRNA expression as well as of the protein, RNA, and DNA contents were determined during ontogeny in the calf. Specific activities and mRNA concentrations were quantified by spectrophotometry and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, respectively. Calves were either milk-fed or weaned until slaughter at different ages. The biosynthesis of elastases I and II was modulated by postnatal development and weaning, leading to specific gene expression profiles. The levels of elastase I activity and of the corresponding mRNAs were found to evolve in a roughly similar way. On the contrary, elastase II activity level decreased sharply during postnatal development, while no changes were observed in the corresponding mRNA levels. After weaning, elastase I activity and mRNA levels, as well as elastase II mRNA levels, increased. However, the magnitudes of elastase I activity and mRNA inductions were different. Therefore, the expression of each gene in the calf pancreas is more or less independently regulated and the regulation is mainly pretranslational (elastase I) or translational (elastase II) during postnatal development and both pretranslational and translational at weaning. The translational efficiency of elastase I and II mRNAs might be influenced by the nature of dietary proteins.

Abstract
Clones encoding bovine preproelastases I and II were isolated from a pancreatic cDNA library and were sequenced in order to define the structural characteristics of these enzymes. The bovine 947- and 884-nucleotide preproelastase I and II cDNAs encode proteins containing a signal peptide of the same length (16 amino acids), but with a slightly different number of amino acids for the activation peptide (10 and 12, respectively) and the mature enzyme (240 and 241, respectively). Considering amino acid sequences, each enzyme shares a high degree of identity (76-86%) within species. In contrast, only 55.3% identity is found between bovine elastases I and II. This difference could explain partly their own specificity. Analysis of the expression of the elastases in various bovine tissues demonstrated that they are specifically expressed in high levels in the pancreatic gland. These two approaches (structure and expression) allowed us to characterize the bovine pancreatic elastases I and II.

Abstract
A specific method for pancreatic elastase II activity analysis was developed. True elastase II activity could be discriminated from that of elastase I and chymotrypsin. The postnatal development of four pancreatic proteases in the duodenal juice of children and in the pancreatic homogenates of calves and piglets was measured. The study was carried out on patients without (14 children) and with (5 children) pancreatic insufficiency. Calves and piglets were either milk-fed or weaned until slaughter at different ages. Profiles of enzyme development were globally similar in milk-fed piglets and calves, while in children without pancreatic insufficiency, no significant change was observed between 4 and 168 months. In children with pancreatic insufficiency, enzyme activity was low. In animals, elastase II and chymotrypsin activities were maximal at birth, decreased with age, and probably were associated with the digestion of milk protein. In contrast, elastase I and trypsin activities increased markedly after weaning in connection with the intake of solid food.

Abstract
Pancreatic exocrine secretion and plasma cholecystokinin, gastrin, secretin, and somatostatin concentrations were examined in relation to feeding in 70- to 120-day-old preruminant and ruminant calves. The apparatus used was designed to immediately re-infuse the animal's own pancreatic juice and to carry out accurate measurements of the juice flow in real time and to take samples. In the preruminants, pancreatic juice, protein, and trypsin flows increased from 45 min before and until 15 min after the meal and decreased sharply thereafter over a period of 30 min. while protein and trypsin concentrations peaked after feeding. A significant increase in plasma gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK), a fall in secretin and no change in somatostatin were observed after milk ingestion. By contrast, in the ruminants, feeding had no effect on the pancreatic secretion and on the plasma concentrations of these peptides. Similar and simultaneous patterns of juice flow and secretin, as well as of protein and trypsin concentrations, CCK and gastrin, could support the hypothesis that these gut regulatory peptides play a significant role in the regulation of the pancreatic function. In preruminant calves, the existence of cephalic, gastric and intestinal phases is discussed. In the ruminants, that of the ruminal phase is questionable.

Abstract
This review summarizes recent advances on blood plasma patterns, receptors, secondary messengers and metabolism of gut regulatory peptides (i.e. gastrin, secretin, somatostatin, cholecystokinin, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, pancreatic polypeptide, gastric inhibitory polypeptide, motilin), in young ruminants during fetal and perinatal stages, during the preruminant stage and at weaning. It also deals with their role in the digestive tract function and postabsorptive changes. Some pathological situations in young ruminants are considered. Recent molecular aspects of digestive enzyme synthesis are also reported.

Abstract
From a research sample of 138 corpses, divided into four subgroups of ambient storage temperature (0-5 degrees C, 6-10 degrees C, 11-15 degrees C and 16-23 degrees C) four linear regression formulae of actual versus estimated post-mortem interval were obtained ('interval' formulae) using a single outer ear temperature measurement on both sides. This method showed the best correlation coefficient among five other methods previously proposed for time of death determination (rectal temperature, vitreous K+, CSF K+, blood log NA+/K+ and log Cl-), however its results were less accurate than those obtained with a multivariate equation combining several of the above mentioned methods. Eventually an equation expressing time of death (TOD) as a function of outer ear temperature (OE T degrees) and ambient temperature was also established from the whole research sample ('global' formulae). On a different sample of 141 corpses the regression formulae ('interval' and 'global') for the outer ear temperature were compared to three methods based on a single rectal temperature measurement ('rule of thumb' 1 and 2, Henssge nomogram) and therefore useful at the scene; the results of all methods were compared within the four subgroups of ambient temperature as well as in three subgroups of different post-mortem interval lengths (< 7 h, < 10 h, < 15 h). In all cases the outer ear temperature formulae provided better results than the rectal temperature methods (especially Henssge nomogram and rule of thumb 1). Moreover they did not show any post-mortem plateau which was present in almost 30% of cases when rectal temperature was measured in corpses kept at ambient temperature above 15 degrees C. Our results show that outer ear temperature measurement is the method which provides the best simplicity/quality ratio and should therefore be proposed for use at the scene when conditions are similar to those of our experiment (within buildings). A software equipped thermometer is required in order to use in each case the appropriate formula and confidence interval.

Abstract
We have cloned the calf predominant pancreatic cholecystokinin B (CCKB)/gastrin receptor cDNA. It encodes a 454 amino acid protein with 90% identity with the CCKB/gastrin receptor cloned in other species and tissues. However, the calf pancreatic CCKB/gastrin receptor contains a pentapeptide cassette within the third intracellular loop which is absent in the cloned human brain and stomach receptor. Quantification of the CCKB/gastrin receptor mRNA levels by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction demonstrated the same level of transcripts at birth, +7 and +28 days. On the other hand, binding study with pancreatic membranes showing a dramatic increase (600-fold) in the number of CCKB/gastrin receptor sites between at birth and +28 days indicates that the development of the calf pancreatic CCKB/gastrin receptor occurs during the first 4 weeks of post-natal life. COS monkey cells (COS-7 cells) transiently transfected by the cloned cDNA exhibit binding of 125I-Bolton-Hunter-[Thr28,Ahx31]CCK-(25-33) and 125I-Bolton-Hunter-[Leu15]human gastrin-(2-17) to two affinity classes of sites. Kd values of the high affinity binding components indicate a 4-fold higher affinity of the receptor for sulfated gastrin than for CCK. Finally, the recombinant receptor is coupled to G proteins and [Ca2+]i mobilization, and is expressed as a glycoprotein of 82 kDa.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of replacing skim-milk powder by differently treated soya bean or pea products on growth, pancreas size and pancreatic enzyme activities in calves. Three separate experiments have been performed. In experiments 1 and 2, 28 and 21 male Holstein calves were divided into 4 or 3 groups, respectively, and fed either dairy products or milk substitutes in which protein was mainly provided by soya bean products differing in their protein concentration due to the technological processing applied. In experiment 3, 45 male Holstein calves were divided into 3 groups and were fed either dairy products, or raw or flaked pea flour as a protein source. After an experimental period of 99 +/- 4 days in experiments 1 and 2, and of 88 days in experiment 3, animal growth rate was significantly lower with raw pea flour (16%) and with the soya bean diet, which was highly concentrated in carbohydrates and allergenic proteins (13-27%). Pancreas weight decreased significantly (16-18%) with pea diets and tended to be lower (NS) with the water extracted, concentrated and heated flour (soya bean). Amylase-specific activity increased significantly (43%) with pea diets but showed opposite tendencies with the most refined soya bean products. Proteolytic enzyme activities were slightly influenced by dietary protein source, but this was not as obvious as in the literature reviewed. Specific messenger RNAs corresponding to amylase, trypsin and chymotrypsin seemed to increase (NS) with the soya bean diets, particularly with the less elaborated one. However, further investigations are required before any conclusions may be drawn concerning regulation levels of pancreatic adaptation to dietary protein. According to this study and the literature, results concerning pancreatic response to diets were different suggesting that the origin of soya bean, pea seeds and technological treatments applied to them were of great importance. Also, the level of incorporation into milk substitute and the presence of more or less antinutritional factors could influence pancreatic enzyme variations by complex mechanisms.

Abstract
Three milk substitute diets, in which the protein was either provided exclusively by skim milk powder or partially (52%) substituted by a native wheat gluten or a potato protein concentrate, were given to intact or ileo-caecal cannulated preruminant calves. The apparent faecal nitrogen digestibility was lower (P < 0.05) with the potato than with the gluten and control diets (0.90, 0.93 and 0.95, respectively). The same trend was observed at the ileal level (0.83, 0.87 and 0.91, respectively). Apparent digestibilities of most amino acids were lower with the potato than with the control diet (P < 0.05 for glutamic acid, proline, cystine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, tyrosine and lysine). The same trend was observed with the gluten diet. Apparent digestibilities of glutamic acid and cystine were also lower (P < 0.05) with the potato than with the gluten diet. Protein fractions of Mr 43,000 and below 14,000 were detected immunochemically in ileal digesta corresponding to the potato diet, but no immunoreactivity was found in digesta with the gluten diet. However, the considerable enrichment of digesta in glutamic acid and proline with gluten indicates that dietary protein fractions rich in these 2 amino acids escaped digestion in the small intestine. With the potato diet, the undigested fractions contained high levels of aspartic acid, glutamic acid and cystine.

Abstract
Three milk substitute diets in which the protein was provided either by skim milk only (control diet) or mainly (71%) by a commercial soyabean or lupin concentrate (soyabean or lupin diet, respectively) were given to intact or ileo-caecal-cannulated preruminant calves. In vitro tests showed that both concentrates were partially proteolysed and had low antigenic and antitryptic activities. The low antigenicity was confirmed in vivo since none of the calves produced specific plasma antibodies against dietary proteins, and skin reactions following the injection of these proteins were minor. Postprandial plasma level of triglycerides was higher with the 2 legume diets, suggesting faster abomasal emptying of fat and probably protein. Apparent faecal nitrogen digestibility was lower (P < or = 0.05) with the soyabean and lupin diets than with the control diet (0.86, 0.88 and 0.95, respectively). At the ileal level, the differences were smaller and non-significant (0.90, 0.88 and 0.92) for nitrogen, but remained significant for valine and tyrosine with the soyabean diet, and for proline, valine, methionine, leucine and lysine with the lupin diet. However, the differences were small enough to conclude that proper denaturation of soyabean and lupin proteins by processes including partial hydrolysis can suppress their antigenicity and render them very digestible.

Abstract
Caseinomacropeptide (CMP) is a 64-amino-acid-residue peptide which is released from kappa-casein by gastric proteinases. This review sums up the knowledge concerning its effects on the digestive function. Part 1 recalls the origin and heterogeneity of CMP. Here we underline that there are various forms of CMP which differ by their glycosylation level and genetic mutation. Consequently the forms used for studying biological activities need to be defined accurately. Part 2 summarizes the effects of CMP on digestive secretions. The major effect is an inhibitory effect on acid gastric secretions. Simultaneously, the blood concentration of regulatory digestive peptides is modified. In part 3 we try to clarify the mechanisms of action of CMP. A slightly glycosylated form of CMP, the A variant, appears to be responsible for the biological activity. Evidence suggests that CMP triggers stimuli from intestinal receptors without being absorbed. The signal would be then transmitted to organs through regulatory digestive peptides.

Abstract
Cholecystokinin (CCK)/gastrin receptors were characterized in calf pancreatic plasma membranes from newborns, 28- and 119-day-old milk-fed preruminants, and 119-day-old weaned ruminants. Scatchard analysis of [125I]Bolton-Hunter reagent-[Thr28,Nle31]CCK-(25-33) binding indicated two classes of binding sites: high affinity sites exhibited significant higher affinity and binding capacity (P < 0.05) in 119-day-old ruminants than in 119-day-old preruminants (Kd = 0.13 +/- 0.02 vs. 0.35 +/- 0.08 nM; binding capacity (Bmax) = 53 +/- 12 vs. 18 +/- 5 fmol/mg protein). Pharmacological analysis using selective agonists and antagonists indicated the expression of the CCK-A receptor at birth, whereas the CCK-B receptor predominated at postnatal stages. At all stages, the binding was inhibited by guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate. Binding site identification by photoaffinity labeling showed that at birth, the labeling occurred mainly on a 78- to 96-kilodalton (kDa) component. In milk-fed animals, aged 28 and 119 days, two membrane-binding components were labeled at 78-96 and 43-52 kDa. In 119-day-old ruminants, labeling occurred mainly on a 40- to 47-kDa protein. Deglycosylation by endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase-F of the 40- to 47- and 43- to 52-kDa components resulted in the formation of a 37-kDa membrane protein. Consequently, this study demonstrated 1) the differential expression of CCK-A and -B receptors in developing calf pancreas, 2) the predominance of CCK-B receptors in normal pancreas, and 3) the maturation of CCK-B receptors during the weaning period, which includes the glycosylation level. These results suggest that CCK may play a predominant role during the early postnatal development, while gastrin and CCK-B receptors can function progressively to regulate proliferation and exocrine secretion in the calf pancreas, especially from the weaning period.
