Effect of work, nutritional stress and level of re-alimentation on the composition of compensatory gains in draught oxen
Thirty Highland zebu oxen with a mean weight of 276 (SE ± 14.3) kg and about 6 years of age were blocked by weight into 5 groups of 6 oxen each and within groups allocated to 6 treatments.
