Abstract
Comparable values have been obtained for endogenous fecal calcium in cattle by an “isotope dilution” method and a “comparative balance” method. Both procedures involve the use of labeled calcium, but they are different in principle. The “isotope dilution” method offers advantages in being independent of the availability of the dietary calcium and of the uncertainties of balance determinations.Keywords
