    Area of Science:

    • Animal Science
    • Metabolic Research
    • Agricultural Engineering

    Background:

    • Accurate metabolic studies require precise separation of excreta.
    • Existing methods may be complex or lack adaptability for different species.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a reliable metabolism unit for quantitative urine and feces collection in swine.
    • To assess the adaptability of the unit for other livestock species.

    Main Methods:

    • Construction of a metabolism unit primarily from wood.
    • Testing the unit's reliability and quantitative collection capabilities in swine.
    • Adapting and testing the unit for use with goats, sheep, and young cattle.

    Main Results:
