1. The effects of bucket- v. teat-feeding and warm- v. cold-milk feeding on the flow of duodenal digesta and the concurrent pancreatic secretion were studied in two experiments in preruminant Ayrshire calves (28–43 d of age), fitted with duodenal re-entrant and pancreatic sac cannulas.

2. As measured by the time interval taken for total recovery of the polyethylene glycol fed in the milk, the whey fluids had a more rapid passage through the abomasum when the calves were given warm milk by teat rather than by bucket (Expts 1 and 2). The duodenal digesta contained less sodium ions and more ‘Cl-Na+’ when the calves were fed by teat even though the volumes of milk drunk and duodenal flow were similar. It was concluded that more abomasal acid was secreted when calves were fed by teat.

3. When the calves were fed by teat rather than by bucket, the protein-nitrogen : N (PN : N) in the duodenal digesta was lower, especially during the first 6 h after feeding and there was a tendency for more pancreatic proteases to be secreted.

4. In Expt 1, when the calves were given warm milk the total flow of N and lipid in the duodenal digesta was 22 and 19% greater than that ingested. This was considered to be due to the coagulum from the penultimate meal plus the experimental meal passing more readily through the duodenum when sampling and to endogenous secretion of N and lipid.

5. When four Ayrshire calves were bucket-fed cold, rather than warm milk there was a reduced secretion of abomasal and pancreatic fluids and abomasal acid. There were no differences in the time interval required for the whey fluids to leave the abomasum or the PN : N value.

6. There was a positive correlation between the total duodenal flow of non-whey fluids and the pancreatic secretion regardless of the method of feeding.

7. The completeness of digestion and susceptibility of calves to diarrhoea when fed by teat and bucket is discussed.
