Abstract
A modified metabolism stall for use in digestibility and nutrient balance trials with steers is descr. The stall is built largely of metal for strength and durability, and has replaceable parts. It features a rounded metal feed box, a sliding, dairy-type stanchion which governs the length of the stall, an automatic watering device, and interchangeable floor pieces which permit collection of urine by means of a metal grid and funnel, or a rubber funnel and hose. The stall is illustrated by a photograph and drawings which give dimensions and details of construction.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
