Agricultural systems are responsible for environmental impacts that can be mitigated through the adoption of more sustainable principles. Our objective was to investigate the influence of two pre-grazing targets (95% and ...
A comparison of methods for estimating forage intake, digestibility, and fecal output in red deer (Cervus elaphus)
(Oxford University Press (OUP) on behalf of the American Society of Animal Science, 2020-03)
The objective of this experiment was to determine appropriate methods for estimating fecal output, digestibility, and intake in red deer (Cervus elaphus). Dry matter intake (DMI), digestibility, and fecal output were ...
Characteristics of boli formed by dairy cows upon ingestion of fresh ryegrass, lucerne or chicory
(Cambridge University Press on behalf of The Animal Consortium, 2019-06)
This study examined the comminution of fresh herbage, subsequent nutrient release, and the characteristics of swallowed boli from three physically and chemically contrasting forages during ingestive mastication by dairy ...
