Journal ArticleDOI
Complete diet feeding for cattle
TL;DR: There seems little justification for varying diet composition with the consequent necessity for grouping the cows, and advantages for complete diets appear to be simplicity of management and full mechanisation, coupled with economy of feeding space, safety and flexibility for inclusion of a wide range of ingredients.

Deposition of protein, fat and energy in lambs of the breed German Merino Landsheep
Gerhard Bellof,Josef Pallauf +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the deposition of fat, protein and energy during the growth period of lambs and find that the amount of increase differed between the three feeding levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enteric methane emissions, energy partitioning, and energetic efficiency of zebu beef cattle fed total mixed ration silage
TL;DR: The results suggested that the greater feeding level in zebu beef cattle fed above maintenance levels resulted in improved energy retention and utilization efficiency because of the reduction in enteric methane energy loss.

Factors affecting the capture of dietary nitrogen by micro-organisms in the forestomachs of the young steer. Experiments with [15N]urea.
TL;DR: It was concluded that starch was a more suitable energy source than glucose for maximal capture of ammonia-N for microbial synthesis but that spreading the urea and glucose doses in an attempt to match energy and ammonia release rates had no significant effect on capture efficiency.

The performance of ewes offered concentrates containing olive by-products in late pregnancy and lactation
TL;DR: In this article, the Segurena breed were allocated to groups and were group-fed different diets composed of concentrates and roughage (lucerne hay in experiment 1 and barley straw in experiment 2), in late pregnancy and lactation.
