Abstract

MARUYAMA, Naoki (Fac. Agric., Tokyo Noko Univ.). 1985. Kidney and marrow fats as indices of fat reserves of Japanese serows. Jap. J. Ecol. 35 : 31-35. Analyses of 525 Japanese serows (Capricornis crispus) from Gifu and Nagano Prefectures in two winters of 1979-1980 and 1980-1981 revealed that the kidney fat index was useful for estimating a wide range of body fat contents, but inadequate for estimating to lower levels, which are most accurately revealed by measurement of both femur marrow fat and tibia marrow fat. Expression of bone marrow dry weight as a percentage of its fresh weight was found to be a more convenient and accurate method than chemical methods such as the Soxhlet extraction method.
