[Estimation, using Cr-EDTA, of intra-diurnal variations in digestive contents in the reticulo-rumen of sheep].

Abstract

The use of Cr-EDTA for estimation of intra-diurnal variations of the reticulo-ruminal fill was studied using six sheep fed ad lib. grass hay twice a day. The results are compared with those obtained by manual emptying of the reticulo-rumen.
