Regulation of Food Intake in Ruminants. 6. Influence of Caloric Density of Pelleted Rations
D.A. Dinius,B.R. Baumgardt +1 more
TLDR
In this article, the authors evaluated 40 rations with varying digestibility and density and found that fill limited intake of these sheep when the digestible energy of the rations was less than 2.5 kcal/g, whereas above this level energy intake was regulated.About:

TL;DR: It is concluded that sweet sorghum bagasse can be included in the complete rations at maximum level of 50 % as roughage source for rearing of ram lambs.

Effect of stage of maturity and chop length on the chemical composition and utilization of formic acid-treated ryegrass and formic acid silage by sheep
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of stage of maturity and method of harvesting (chop length) on the in vivo digestibilities of formic acid-treated grass in experiment 1 and formic acids silage in experiment 2 was determined at a fixed level of feeding for both grass and silage and at ad libitum access to feed for silage only.

Voluntary Alfalfa Hay Wafer Intake by Lactating Dairy Cows Fed Varying Concentrate Amounts
D.L. Bath,G.A.E. Gall,M. Ronning +2 more
TL;DR: Depressed milk fat percentage occurred consistently among higher producing cows receiving 50% or more of their energy requirements as a concentrate mix whereas lower producing cows gave milk with normal fat composition regardless of ration.

Regulation of Feed Intake in Dairy Cows. I. Change in Importance of Physical and Physiological Factors with Increasing Digestibility
TL;DR: It was concluded that physical and physiological factors regulating feed intake change in importance with increasing digestibility, and intake appeared to be dependent on metabolic size, production, and digestibility at higher digestibilities.

The regulation of food intake by sheep
TL;DR: A series of experiments with adult sheep were carried out in an attempt to place on a quantitative basis the generalisation that the voluntary food intake of ruminants increases with the quality of the fodder they are given.
