Effects of Diet on Short-Term Regulation of Feed Intake by Lactating Dairy Cattle
TL;DR: Some of the characteristics of dietary ingredients that should be considered when formulating diets for lactating dairy cows and when allocating feeds to different groups of animals on the farm are discussed.

Characteristics of plant cell walls affecting intake and digestibility of forages by ruminants.
TL;DR: A simple model of cell-wall digestion and passage in which ruminal fill is a function of rates of digestion and Passage, as well as the indigestible fraction of thecell-wall indicates that cell- wall concentration and rate of passage are the most critical parameters determining ruminalFill.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting intake and digestibility using mathematical models of ruminal function.
TL;DR: Steady-state models indicate fractional rates of digestion and passage can be used to define ideal nutritive entities and predict digestibility over a range of kinetic characteristics.

Protein and Energy as an Integrated System. Relationship of Ruminal Protein and Carbohydrate Availability to Microbial Synthesis and Milk Production
J.E. Nocek,James B. Russell +1 more
TL;DR: In early lactation, dietary CP and energy can profoundly affect milk yield, but current methods of assessing these nutrients are often inadequate to predict animal performance.
