Effects of low protein consumption on the renal clearance of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) in goats.

Effects of low protein consumption on the renal excretion of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) in four female goats were studied by means of clearance methods. During periods of low protein consumption the 2,4-D clearance values are lower than during periods of normal protein consumption. The average reduction of 2,4-D clearance varies between 20 and 50 per cent.
