The effect of varying levels of dietary protein on carcass composition of eleven- and eighteen-month-old male rats
Carcass composition of male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 11 and 18 months, in response to varying levels of dietary protein was determined. Groups varying of ten rats of each age were fed diets containing from 1.53 to 8.05 percent protein as casein supplemented with d-1-methionine for five weeks. The …

Body composition of dogs determined by carcass composition analysis, deuterium oxide dilution, subjective and objective morphometry, and bioelectrical impedance
Prediction of body composition was assessed in thirty-eight female and thirty-seven male random source dogs using in vivo methods of deuterium oxide dilution, subjective and objective morphometry, bioelectrical impedance and ultrasound, either separately or in various combinations. Carcass …
