(Department of Veterinary Anatomy and Physiology, University of Nairobi, 1969-11)1. The effects of varying the intake of water and nitrogen on the renal excretion of urea and electrolytes has been studied in sheep and in red deer.2. The concentration of urea in the urine of both sheep and deer decreased ... -
The water metabolism of a small East African antelope: the dik-dik
(Department of Veterinary Anatomy and Physiology, University of Nairobi, 1973-11)1. In controlled laboratory experiments, rectal temperature, cutaneous moisture evaporation, and respiratory rate were studied in the dik-dik. The water balance of the dik-dik was investigated when the antelope were either ... -
Stomach fermentation in East African Colobus monkeys in their natural state
(Department of Veterinary Anatomy and Physiology, University of Nairobi, 1974-04)The microbial fermentation in the stomachs of two monkeys, Colobus polykomos, collected in Kenya, was studied.
