Abstract
Standardbred geldings were used in nutritional balance experiments. These consisted of 28 day cycles (an 18-day equilibration period in yards and a 10 day settling and collection period in metabolism crates). The crates were made of galvanized metal tubing over wooden flooring covered by rubber matting and rubber sheets. Total feces were collected in trays at the rear of crates and total urine by canvas funnels slung beneath the sheath of each horse.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
