- Title
Evaluation of Brassicas in grazing systems for sheep: II. Blood composition and nutrient status2.
- Abstract
Blood composition of lambs grazing Brassicas and stockpiled grass or grass-clover pastures in the fall of 4 yr was monitored to assess possible effects of plant metabolites (e.g., glucosinolates, S-methyl cysteine sulfoxide) on health and performance. Serum thyroxine (T4) concentrations in lambs grazing Brassicas decreased upon initiation of grazing, with a subsequent recovery, and concentrations were increased by oral dosing with I or I + CuO. Serum triiodothyronine ( T3) increased gradually.
