A unifying mathematical analysis of methods to estimate rumen volume using digesta markers and intraruminal sampling
Abstract
A theoretical exposition of methods for estimating the quantity of digesta in the rumen using digesta-flow markers and intraruminal sampling is given, with emphasis on the kinetic assumptions underlying each method. Single- and dual-marker approaches to estimating volume in steady and non-steady-state are presented.
