Thus, high dietary CM increases the
total sulfur content in the diet. A high concentration of sulfur in the
CM diet would have affected dietary electrolyte balance and
contributed partly to wet litter. However, the commonly used dietary electrolyte balance equation (Na
þ
þ K
þ
Cl
) doesn't take
into account the sulfur content in the diet but the anion-cation ratio
of the diet can be out of balance with an excess amount of sulfur if
CM is included at high levels (
