Body composition of cows kept under tropical conditions: Carry-over effects of feed fluctuation
Knowledge of composition of fat, protein and water in the body is indicative for the determination of effects of changes in nutrition in terms of body reserves. Deuterium oxide dilution technique has been proposed as easy, reliable and non-destructive method of determining body composition using...
