The use of faecal Na concentration as an indicator of Na deficiency in lactating crossbred cows
An experiment was carried out with four rumen fistulated crossbred Friesian X Zebu lactating cows to evaluate the Na content of faeces as an indicator of Na deficiency in cattle. In addition, the effect of NaCl supplementation on the animal performance and rumen parameters was examined. The cows wer...
