Abstract

The objective of the project on water soluble tracers for determining water turnover and partitioning by cattle is to determine the energy and nutrient components associated with the water components consumed and excreted by cattle. For example, if fecal water output can be determined, the dry matter and energy concentrations can be added to arrive at total daily amounts.
