QUESTION

In cattle during transport, the shrink rate is maximum in a period of?

OPTIONS

(A) 0-12 h
(B) 12-24 h
(C) 24-36 h
(D) 36-72 h

ANSWER

(A) 0-12 h

Most live-weight shrink during cattle transport occurs early, particularly in the first 0–12 hours, because of rapid loss of gut fill, urine, and some tissue water. The rate generally slows during later intervals. Hence, option (A) is correct.
