The Basal (Standard) Metabolism of the Australian Merino Sheep

[摘要] "The standard metabolism of the merino sheep as influenced by age, sex, and nutritive level, has been determined. The method used was to measure the gaseous exchange of the animals in an "open circuit" apparatus. The actual apparatus and the technique used are described in detail. "Standard metabolism" is determined when the sheep is standing quite quietly after having fasted for 48 hours." -- Summary.
