苏联科学家正把原子物理学的最新成就应用在牲畜飼养業上。苏联牲畜飼养科学研究所正在利用示踪原子来研究矿質如何被綿羊消化、如何影响綿羊的产品生产率。例如,使用硫磺的示踪原子,就可以确定放多少硫磺到綿羊的飼料中才会使羊毛的产量增加。利用示踪原子来研究維生素乙-十二,就可以在它对肝、血和奶的影响方 Soviet scientists are applying the latest achievements in atomic physics to livestock farming. The Soviet Institute of Livestock Breeding is using tracer atoms to study how minerals are digested by sheep and how it affects the productivity of sheep. For example, using sulfur tracer atoms, it can be determined how much sulfur is added to the sheep’s feed to increase wool production. Using tracer atoms to study vitamin B-Twelve, it can affect the liver, blood, and milk.
