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:

Regulation of Forage Intake
TL;DR: Although intake is more important than digestibility in assessing forage quality, progress in understanding the basic factors that affect intake has been hampered by the inability to measure it accurately and to separate the influences of animal and diet on intake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forage Quality and Aggregation by Large Herbivores
TL;DR: Simulations based on the energy-intake model suggest a number of key environmental factors that should determine the impact of forage maturation and spatial variation on herbivore distribution patterns.

Factors affecting forage intake by range ruminants: a review.
TL;DR: Body size and physiological status of ruminants appear to have the largest effect of animal-related factors in governing level of voluntary intake and kind and amount of supplementation, forage availability, and grazing intensity are major management-controlled variables affecting intake by domestic range ruminant.

Effects of dietary energy density on feed intake, body weight gain and carcass chemical composition of Omani growing lambs
Osman Mahgoub,C.D. Lu,R.J. Early +2 more
TL;DR: This study indicated that meat production from sheep in Oman will be improved in form of higher BW gains and better carcass composition by increasing energy levels in the diet.

Regulation of food intake in ruminants. 1. pelleted rations varying in energy concentration.
M.J. Montgomery,B.R. Baumgardt +1 more
TL;DR: Results of both trials support the hypothesis that ruminants will adjust voluntary food intake in relation to physiological demand for energy if fill or rumen load does not limit their consumption.

Factors affecting the voluntary intake of food by cows: 1. Preliminary observations on the effect, on the voluntary intake of hay, of changes in the amount of the reticulo-ruminal contents
R. C. Campling,C. C. Balch +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of changes in the amount of the reticulo-ruminal contents had a direct effect on the voluntary intake of hay, as well as on the filling effect of roughages.

Regulation of food intake in ruminants. 2. Rations varying in energy concentration and physical form.
M.J. Montgomery,B.R. Baumgardt +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, eight rations varying in physical form and energy concentration were fed to 12 Holstein heifers in a partially balanced incomplete block design, and the data indicated that a more accurate method of estimating the space-occupying characteristics of a feed is needed, to verify the bulk or rumen load theory of food intake regulation in ruminants.

The voluntary intake of roughages by steers.
K. L. Blaxter,R. S. Wilson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the apparent digestibility of roughage roughages with cattle and found that sheep are more efficient convertors of the energy of roughages to body gain than cattle.
