Intake and digestion in swamp buffaloes and cattle. 3. Comparisons with four forage diets, and with rice straw supplemented with energy and protein
TL;DR: The results were consistent with the hypothesis that energy metabolism and digesta load in the reticulorumen interact in the regulation of roughage intake, but it appeared that the lower loads measured in both species in Expt 2 indicated the operation of an unidentified limitation to intake.

Using growth and body composition to determine weight at maturity in Nellore cattle
Marcos Inácio Marcondes,Marcos Inácio Marcondes,Luis O Tedeschi,Sebastião de Campos Valadares Filho,Luiz Fernando Costa e Silva,A.L. Silva +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship among water, crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE) and ash in the empty bodyweight (EBW), and the soft tissue and bone and determine an objective method to define weight at maturity in Nellore cattle.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of increased energy demand through walking exercise on intake and ruminal characteristics of sheep fed a roughage diet
TL;DR: It is concluded that an increase in the difference between energy demand and supply per se is not responsible for the apparent rise in the upper limit to OM accumulation in the rumen and concomitant increase in roughage intake observed during other situations of increased energy output such as lactation and severe cold.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating feeding strategies for dairy cows: a modelling approach
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the financial implications of different levels and patterns of concentrate feeding, where silage is fed ad libitum, and found that although feeding more concentrates increased overall lactation yield, profits per cow and per hectare declined with increasing concentrate usage.

R. W. Matthewman,J. T. Dijkman +1 more
TL;DR: The present review considers the work capacity of draught animals, their energy, protein, mineral, vitamin and water requirements, the influence of work on food intake, digestion and body weight, and energy partition for work.
