The use of tritiated water in livestock research in Africa: Theory, application, methodology and potential errors of the technique

Presents a theoritical outline of the techniques in the use of tritiated water (HTO) which can be used to estimate total body water, body composition, water turnover, milk intake and feed intake. Highlights its potential errors and gives a comprehensive methodology for the use of tritiated water und...
