Importance of body tissues as sources of nutrients for milk synthesis in the cow, using 13C as a marker

1. The proportions of carbon in individual milk constituents derived from feed and body tissues in dairy cows, were estimated by taking advantage of the natural variations which occur in the ratio, 13C:12C present in C3- and C4-plant species. 2. Four cows, which had previously grazed C3 plants (ryeg...
