Journal Article
Evaluation of mineral composition of forages for grazing ruminants in Pakistan.
Zafar Iqbal Khan,Muhammad Ashraf,Kafeel Ahmad,Nazir Ahmad,Muhammad Danish,Ehsan Elahi Valeem +5 more
TL;DR: Results showed that pasture grasses/ forages have sufficient levels of K, Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe and Zn to meet the requirements of ruminants being reared there but the occurrence of marginal to deficient supplies of Na and Cu appears very likely in this area of investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of delivery temperature on endocrine stimulation of thermoregulation in lambs born by cesarean section.
TL;DR: Exogenous administration of endocrine stimulatory factors can enhance the abundance of UCP1 in cesarean-section-delivered lambs with the magnitude of thermoregulatory response being greater at cool than warm delivery temperatures.

Measurement of Microbial Protein Supply in Murrah Buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) Using Urinary Purine Derivatives Excretion and PDC Index
TL;DR: In this paper, a study was conducted to predict the rumen microbial protein production based on urinary excretion of purine derivatives in buffaloes fed a diet of wheat straw and concentrate (40:60) at four fixed levels of feed intake.

Calculating dry matter consumption of dairy herds in Australia: the need to fully account for energy requirements and issues with estimating energy supply
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple approach, the "Target 10" approach, which is commonly used by the dairy industry in Victoria to estimate annual forage consumption, is compared with an alternative approach -the "Feeding Systems" approach.

Hindgut fermentation in the wombats: two marsupial grazers.
P. S. Barboza,I. D. Hume +1 more
TL;DR: The wombats Vombatus ursinus and Lasiorhinus latifrons have a capacious proximal colon with only a vestigial caecum and the energy from fermentation clearly enables wombats to utilize diets high in fibre.
