Quantifying the hydration status of lambs in relation to carcass characteristics

This is the catalogue record for a paper the old Livestock Library listed. We have not written a summary of it yet. The panel gives its full citation and, where we could confirm one, a link to where it can be read today.

It belongs to the Animal Production Science collection, published in the Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture.
