Abstract
The rates of entry of cystine into the extracellular compartment, and the concentrations of cystine in this compartment, were measured during 12-14 hr infusions ofL-[35S]cystine in Peppin Merino ewes_ The ewes were sampled from flocks selectively bred for high or low clean fleece weight per head; and were fed either 500 or 1100 g of chaffed lucerne hay daily during the experiment.Keywords
