The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the dietary crude protein (CP) content and origin on the flow of mucin protein along the small intestine of the preruminant calf. Diets contained 1, 10, 20 and 28% of CP supplied by skim milk powder (SMP) in experiment 1. Diets differed by the nature of protein [soybean protein concentrate (SPC), partially hydrolyzed soybean protein isolate (HSPI) or potato protein concentrate (PPC)] in experiment 2. Duodenal, jejunal, and ileal digesta were collected from calves fitted with simple cannulae and continuously infused the milk replacers into the abomasum. In experiment 1, the basal flow of mucin protein was 1.1, 1.8, and 4.0 g/kg of dry matter intake at the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, respectively. Mucin protein contributed to 19 and 40% of ileal loss of CP and lysine, respectively. When dietary CP rose from 1 to 28%, the flow of mucin protein increased at the duodenum (+300%). In experiment 2, the flow of mucin protein increased by 70% at the duodenum and at the jejunum when SMP was partially replaced by SPC and HSPI. With PPC, this flow increased at the duodenum (+24%) and ileum (+52%). These data demonstrate the importance of mucin as a source of endogenous nitrogen and the impact of dietary protein content and origin on this flow.
