Description

The use of radioisotopes in metabolic studies in domestic animals are discussed. Examples of in vivo techniques are: the measuring of the water balance and solid particle flow rates in digestion studies; determining of body composition; micro-circulation flow studies and studies of metabolite turnovers. In vitro techniques are used in studies of organs, cells and enzyme reactions as well as hormone analysis
