Stable isotopes of C and N differ in their ability to reconstruct diets of cattle fed C3–C4 forage diets

Stable isotopes of C and N differ in their ability to reconstruct diets of cattle fed C3–C4 forage diets

Abstract Stable isotopes are useful for estimating livestock diet selection. The objective was to compare δ13C and δ15N to estimate diet proportion of C3–C4 forages when steers (Bos spp.) were fed quantities of rhizoma peanut (Arachis glabrata; RP; C3) and bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum; C4).Treatment...
