Discusses the water needs of livestock in Africa and other hot regions, and the physiological utilization of water both within and between species, including water turnover, water loss, and water replacement. Suggests some ways of optimizing water use and using water as a management tool.
Presents a theoritical outline of the techniques in the use of tritiated water (HTO) which can be used to estimate total body water, body composition, water turnover, milk intake and feed intake. Highlights its potential errors and gives a comprehensive methodology for the use of tritiated water ...
