The nutritional value of Lathyrus cicera and Lupinus angustifolius grain for sheep

TL;DR: Compared with lupin grain, low ODAP L. cicera grain appears to be of high nutritional value for sheep, with no evidence of adverse effects on sheep health, and essential amino acid composition was similar for the two grains.

The growth and development of nine European sheep breeds. 1. British breeds: Scottish Blackface, Welsh Mountain and Shetland

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the growth and development of lambs of three British hill breeds (Scottish Blackface, Welsh Mountain, and Shetland), from weaning to approaching maturity, when kept under conditions designed to be nutritionally non-limiting.

The Influence of Diet on Nitrogen and Amino Acid Content of Mixed Rumen Bacteria

TL;DR: A proportion of AA-N in bacterial nitrogen of approximately 70% seems justified, and a significant relation was obtained both to the crude fibre and LHK (sugar + starch) content in the diets.

The Lactational Responses of Dairy Cows to Amount of Feed and to the Source of Carbohydrate Energy

TL;DR: Whether responses to variation in plane of nutrition conformed to a linear model or to a diminishing response curve model was tested and the influence of type of energy-yielding nutrient used in the ration on the response was examined.

Effect of time at pasture combined with restricted indoor feeding on production and behaviour in dairy cows.

TL;DR: It can be concluded, that in systems with a high herbage allowance, the cow was able to compensate for 0.8 of the reduction in time at pasture by increasing the proportion of time spent grazing and presumably also both the bite rate and mass, although the latter two have not been directly confirmed in the present study.
