[Comparison of different methods of interpretation for the prediction of body water by heavy water dilution method: application in the male goat].
Deuterium oxide dilution space (DS) predicted by a 1 or 2 compartment kinetic model was used to estimate total body water in male kids. Empty body water (EBW), total body water at slaughter (TBW) and total body water calculated in the middle of day of injection (TBWM) were predicted with more accuracy by 2 compartment models. Residual standard deviation for EBW, TBW and TBWM estimated from a 2 open compartment model was 939 g, 464 g and 450 g respectively. Measurement of DS provides an accurate method to determine body water content and body composition.
