title: [Analysis of the distribution of particle sizes at different levels of the digestive tract].
abstract: An exponential distribution model was fitted to the particle size data of samples of digesta from sheep fed lucerne hay. It was best fitted to the oesophagus and rumen samples, which contain large particles, than to the duodenum and faeces samples.
