Extract

Previous work (Hyslop, 2005) has shown that alternative algebraic calculation methods give similar estimates of total tract mean retention times (TMRT) in ponies given complete pelleted diets. This similarity in TMRT estimates across calculation methods remains to be confirmed with other dietary constituents. This study's objective was to compare liquid, concentrate and forage TMRT estimates using alternative algebraic calculation methods.
