Detection of sodium deficiency in crossbred Friesian X Zebu (Boran) calves fed roughage - based diets using faecal Na contents as an indicator
Two roughage-based diets composed of equal parts of roughage and concentrate were fed to 45 crossbred Friesian X Zebu (Boran) calves. The roughages were either oat-vetch hay or barley straw. 25 animals were fed the diet based on oat-vetch hay and 20 the barley straw-based diet. Within these groups a...
