Nutrient digestibility and gastrointestinal electrolyte flux in the elephant and rhinoceros
(1983)
Nutrient digestibility and absorption-secretion were studied in elephants and rhinoceros.
2. Prehension and diet selection are discussed.
3. Rhinoceros select less fiber, which may account for their greater digestive ...
Sodium balance in the catfish Clarias mossambicus exposed to acid water
(University of Nairobi, 1983-08)
African catfish, Clarias mossambicus showed no ill effects when kept in acid water pH 4–5 for 3–4 days. Their ionic regulatory response was examined and during 24 h exposure to water of pH 4, Na+ efflux increased significantly ...
Changes in thyroxine, triiodothyronine and metabolic rate in the dik-dik antelope (Rhynchotragus kirkii): effects of temperature and dehydration
(University of Nairobi, 1983-02)
Changes in plasma total thyroxine, triiodothyronine (T3) and metabolic rate were investigated in both hydrated and dehydrated dik-diks after prolonged exposure to ambient..
Limitations of intrauterine balloon catheters for ova collection in sheep
(University of Nairobi, 1983-08)
Attempts were made to collect ova from superovulated ewes by surgically fitting a balloon catheter in each uterine lumen either during the luteal phase or follicular phase of their oestrous cycle. A total of six ovulations ...

(University of Nairobi,, 1983)
Ten extractants were used for measuring the available phosphorus in 24 tropical soils, and the extractable P values were correlated against plant parameters obtained from a 170-day continuous cropping experiment and a ...

The counterimmunoelectrophoresis test (CIE) was developed for the diagnosis of C. fetus infection in cattle. It was positive in 8 of 10 cases where the vaginal mucus agglutination test (VMAT) and culture were also positive. ...
Chemical Composition, Digestibility And Feeding Value Of Maize Cobs
(University of Nairobi, 1983-08)
The digestibility of treated maize cobs was studied using Romney Marsh wether sheep in a 2 × 3 factorial design; maize cobs were ground through a 10- or 6-mm screen and three chemical treatments were applied to each grinding: ...
