Experiments showed that the average plasma volume and the average volume of extracellular fluid were similar in sheep from the 2 genetic groups and were not influenced by the dietary treatments ('low' or 'high' in digestibility, N content and quantity). The sheep consuming the 'high' diet maintained significantly greater concentrations of urea-N in their plasma and cleared both urea and creatinine at significantly greater rates from the plasma. The sheep from the 2 genetic groups had similar average values for these 3 traits.
