Abstract
Data from two studies were used to evaluate the influence of aspiration biopsy of the liver on cattle gains and liver vitamin A concentration. The liver biopsy procedure used did not significantly influence either gains or liver vitamin A status of beef cattle. Cattle consuming ad libitumalfalfa hay did not maintain liver vitamin A concentrations. Rate of gain of cattle did not significantly alter levels of liver vitamin A.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
