ABSTRACT
Blood plasma FFA concentrations have been determined in 22 dairy cows. Plasma PPA concentration averaged 0.84 ± 0.08 meq/liter. Treatment with growth hormone resulted in an average 50% increase in plasma FFA concentration 6 hr after administration. Four experiments indicated that growth hormone treatment probably resulted in increased acetate turnover.
