Nonruminants

Acetyl-CoA, formed from pyruvate by the action of pyruvate dehydrogenase, is the major building block for long-chain fatty acid synthesis in nonruminants. (In ruminants, acetyl-CoA is derived directly from acetate.)...

Major structural or physiological differences in the alimentary tract (e.g., species differences or surgical effects) can give rise to modifications of toxicity. For example, ruminant animals may metabolize toxicants in the GI tract in a way that is unlikely to occur in nonruminants.

The effects of leucaena and mimosine on nonruminants can be reduced to some extent by diet supplementation with ferrous sulfates. Mimosine forms a complex with iron, which is excreted in the feces. Zinc supplementation has reduced the toxicity in cattle and it is believed that copper and zinc ions bind more strongly to mimosine than most other amino acids.

CLA Formation in Nonruminant Animals. CLA has been detected in the serum, bile and duodenal juice of humans (7 ). It has been confirmed that both the cis-9, trans-11 and trans-9, trans-11 CLA isomers are present in human depot fats (79). 

CLA has also been identified in the tissue lipids of other nonruminant animals. The CLA concentration in nonruminant animals (chicken and pig) is considerably lower than ruminant animals (Table 1). The exception among nonruminants is turkey (2.51 mg CLA/g fat), which is about five fold higher than chicken or pork. More than 76% of the CLA isomer found in nonruminant tissues is cis-9, trans-11 isomer. 

In nonruminant calves given an oral dose of 15 mg/kg bw, only 1-3% of the dose was excreted in the first 24 h through urine. In contrast, when the same dose was administered intravenously, as much as 40-60% of the dose could be excreted in the first 24 h through urine.
