Body composition and body reserves in indigenous Ethiopian fat-tailed sheep breeds
Changes in body composition and body reserves with age and growth of indigenous Ethiopian fat-tailed sheep breeds were assessed. The suitability of isotope dilution technique (utilizing Deuterium oxide, D2O) to estimate total body water (TBW) and thereby body composition was investigated. The accura...
