Journal ArticleDOI
Level of nutrition and visceral organ size and metabolic activity in sheep.
TL;DR: It is suggested that level of feed intake changes the relative proportion of visceral organs to body mass as well as the whole-body metabolic rate, and differences in organ size rather than tissue-specific metabolic activity are responsible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptation to High Concentrate Diets by Beef Cattle. I. Adaptation to Corn and Wheat Diets
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of level of nutrition on splanchnic blood flow and oxygen consumption in sheep.
TL;DR: Results indicate that blood flow and O2 consumption in both PDV and liver are related to level of nutrition, and splanchnic tissues represent a significant component of whole-body O 2 consumption that is subject to manipulation by level of Nutrition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of ruminal protozoa on site and extent of starch digestion and ruminal fermentation.
TL;DR: Eight ruminally, duodenally, and ileally fistulated sheep were used to study the effects of protozoa on ruminal fermentation and starch digestion in the rumen and intestines and defaunation increased amylolytic activity and osmotic pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of Laboratory Techniques for Predicting Ruminal Protein Degradation
TL;DR: In this article, five methods of measuring protein solubility, an in situ method, and an in vitro method for measuring protein degradability were evaluated to determine which procedure most accurately predicted quantity of feed protein escaping ruminal fermentation.
