Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution and evaluation of dairy cattle models for predicting milk production: an agricultural model intercomparison and improvement project (AgMIP) for livestock
Luis O Tedeschi,Luigi Francis Lima Cavalcanti,Mozart Alves Fonseca,Mario Herrero,Phillip K. Thornton +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on predicting milk production in lactating dairy cows and evaluate the adequacy of mathematical nutrition model estimates of production of milk and milk is a sine qua non condition to reliably determine ruminants' worldwide contribution to GHG.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rumen fermentation, bacterial and total volatile fatty acid ( TVFA) production rates in cattle fed on urea-molasses-mineral block licks supplement
Bandla Srinivas,B.N. Gupta +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a metabolism trial was conducted, where animals were offered only wheat straw ad lib (T1), or in addition were supplemented with concentrate mixture (T2), or any one of three different types of UMMB-lick type A (T3), type B (T4), and type C (T5).
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutrient composition, digestion and rumen fermentation in sheep of wheat straw treated with calcium oxide, sodium hydroxide and alkaline hydrogen peroxide
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of calcium oxide (CaO), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and NaOH plus hydrogen peroxide (H2O2; AHP) on cell wall composition, digestion and fermentation of wheat straw (straw) in sheep was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Body fatness affects feed intake of sheep at a given body weight.
TL;DR: In this article, nutritional treatments were used to produce different combinations of BW and BCS in lambs, and the results showed that BW alone is insufficient descriptor of the animal to correctly predict feed intake and that intake predictions can be improved by taking BCS into account.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differences between related grasses, times of year and plant parts in digestibility and chemical composition
TL;DR: Perennial ryegrass was the most digestible grass and tall fescue and Westerwolds ryEGrass were the least digestible, while Ryegrasses were lower than fescues in concentration of N and higher than the fesces in water-soluble carbohydrate.
