Feeding difficulties during the neonatal period
Feeding difficulties (FD) are a major issue in neonatology, as they could hamper the assessment of an adequate enteral nutrition, delay hospital discharge and lead to breastfeeding failure. Functional and anatomical maturation of the gastrointestinal tract is strictly related to gestational age (GA); hence, premature infants are more prone to develop FD. Feeding intolerance (FI) is very common ...
متن کاملClose-Up Dry Period: Feeding Management for a Smooth Transition
Cows will typically experience a 30 to 35% reduction in feed intake during the final two to three weeks prior to calving. Blood fatty acids at calving are negatively related to feed intake and positively related to incidence of postpartum metabolic disorders. Feed and manage cows to maximize feed intake during the transition period. Over conditioned cows are likely to have poor appetites, but d...
متن کاملInfluence of dry matter intake, dry matter digestibility, and feeding behavior on body weight gain of beef steers.
This study was conducted to determine the relative contribution of feeding behavior, DMI, apparent DM digestibility (DMD), and passage rate on variation in BW gain. One hundred forty-three crossbred steers were used in this study to determine the factors that contribute to variation in BW gain. Steers were 304 ± 1 d of age and had an initial BW of 338 ± 3 kg. Steers had ad libitum access to fee...
متن کاملEffects of crude glycerin supplementation on wool production, feeding behavior, and body condition of Merino ewes.
The increasing availability of crude glycerin from the biodiesel industry has led to an interest in its use as an energy source in ruminant diets. However, its effects on ruminal fermentation patterns and methane (CH4) production are unclear, and there are no reports on the effect of its inclusion in the diet on wool production or growth of Merino sheep. Thus, the objectives of this study were ...
