TL;DR: In conclusion, decreases in forage particle size elicited by grinding and pelleting did not affect the difference between grass sources in splanchnic tissue heat energy production relative to digestible energy intake.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a split-plot experiment to determine influences of dietary inclusion of broiler litter and level of forage in litter-based diets on feed intake, digestibility and particulate passage rate at different body weights.

TL;DR: The level rather than presence alone of different grass sources consumed ad libitum affected energy use by the splanchnic bed, and as a percentage of digestible energy intake splan Schnic bed energy consumption increased with increasing dietary bermudagrass level and decreasing digestibleEnergy intake.

TL;DR: In this article, a 21-day experiment was conducted to determine if dietary substitution of grain (ground corn) for ryegrass-wheat hay (72% neutral detergent fiber and 9% crude protein) alters effects of legume (alfalfa hay: 60%neutral detergent fibre and 15% protein) on splanchnic tissue net flux of oxygen, alpha-amino nitrogen, urea and ammonia.

TL;DR: It is suggested that potential exists to markedly increase rumen undegradable protein in soybean meal and possibly other feedstuffs high in rumen digestible protein by addition to broiler litter before deep-stacking.
