Sodium status of crossbred Friesian X Zebu (Boran) calves fed roughage - based diets using faecal Na content as indicator
Studies the possibility of using faecal Na concentrations as an indicator of Na status in cattle. Two roughage-based diets composed of equal parts of roughage and concentrate were fed to Friesian X Zebu calves. The roughages were either oat-vetch hay or barley straw.
