	abstract = {The quantity of ammonia removed from portal blood by the ovine  liver was measured using four sheep prepared with in-dwelling catheters in  the hepatic region and fed either lucerne pellets (L) or white clover (WC) at  900 gDM/day. Following blood sampling, plasma ammonia and oxygen  concentrations were determined. The portal ammonia concentration and  flow were significantly (P<0.01) affected by the diet (304 and 646 },
