Influence of the composition of the ration and the feeding frequency on ph-regulation in the rumen and on feed in-take in ruminants

W. Kaufmann
- 01 Jun 1976 - 
- Vol. 3, Iss: 2, pp 103-114
TLDR
With automated systems for higher feeding frequencies it will be possible to increase milk production without decrease of milk fat content and other metabolic disorders and the better energy supply will lead to a better supply of microbial protein as well and therefore prevent a decrease in milk protein content.

Nutritional regulation of milk fat synthesis.

TL;DR: A more complete identification of these naturally produced inhibitors of fat synthesis and delineation of cellular mechanisms may offer broader opportunities for application and understanding of the regulation of lipid metabolism.

Dietary Buffering Requirements of the Lactating Dairy Cow: A Review

TL;DR: In this article, the use of buffering agents in dairy cow diets are a function of salivary buffer secretion, feedstuff buffering capacity, and feed acidity, where buffer flow from saliva is inadequate, added dietary buffers may be justified.

The influence of concentrate amount on locomotion and clinical lameness in dairy cattle

F. J. Manson, +1 more
- 01 Oct 1988 - 
TL;DR: An experiment with two groups of 24 cows during weeks 3 to 22 of lactation examined the influence of 7 (L) or 11 (H) kg concentrates per day on the prevalence of lameness, which declined in both treatments as lactation progressed.

Influence of buffer pH and raw corn starch addition on in vitro fiber digestion kinetics.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of buffer pH (5.8, 6.2, and 6.8) on in vitro digestion kinetics of NDF from alfalfa hay, bromegrass hay, corn silage, and alalfa and bromEGrass hays with raw corn starch added to approximate a ration containing 30% NDF was studied.

Proposal to use time spent chewing as an index of the extent to which diets for ruminants possess the physical property of fibrousness characteristic of roughages.

TL;DR: Exerssion of the roughage index as total time spent chewing per kg dietary dry matter largely eliminates differences resulting from variation in the amount of food consumed, and Differences resulting from the time of access to the food.
