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.

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.

Factors limiting the intake of feed by sheep. II. Studies with wheaten hay
TL;DR: In this paper, a study was made of factors limiting the sheep's intake of a wheaten hay diet having an organic matter digestibility of approximately 57% and containing 4.4% crude protein and a mineral supplement.

Factors limiting the intake of feed by sheep. I. The significance of palatability, the capacity of the alimentary tract to handle digesta, and the supply of glucogenic substrate.
TL;DR: Voluntary feed consumption (VFC) decreased when a quantity of the diet being consumed by the sheep was introduced into the rumen, and factors limiting the intake of lucerne hay and wheaten hay are discussed.
