摘要: Kidney Fat Index (KFI) is the most used indicator of body condition for African ungulates and regarded reliable. The possible use Metatarsus Marrow Dry Weight (MMDW) as an alternative KFI femur marrow dry weight indices Antidorcas marsupialis (springbok) was investigated in this study. males lower than that both non-gravid gravid females. Non-gravid females had a In MMDW well For higher It can be reasoned less sensitive to variations condition, but it reasonably pregnancy. important due unreliable availability kidneys kidney fat, bones.
