Abstract

Three experiments were carried out to determine the effects of short term nutritional changes, stress and changes in carotene content of the diet on plasma carotene concentrations (PCC) and the relative ranking of the cattle for PCC. None of the treatments affected the ranking of the cattle for PCC even though the changes in dietary carotene intake caused large changes in mean PCC.
