N2  - The antipyrine, tritiated water, and N-acetyl-4-aminoantipyrine spaces were determined simultaneously in goats which had been deprived of feed and water for 48 hr. The animals were then killed, minced, and analysed for water, fat, protein, and ash contents. The compositions of the whole and empty bodies of the goats were calculated, and the relationships between the bodily components were compared with those reported for cattle, sheep, and some monogastric species. The relationships found between the components of the whole bodies compared favourably with those derived from the empty bodies. The relationships of the spaces determined in vivo to total body water, fat, and protein were found, and confidence statements were placed on predicted estimates.
