Estimates of maintenance requirement of growing lambs.
1. Total body energy retention (ER) and metabolizable energy intake (MEI) values from experiments with 231 lambs (Suffolk male x (Border Leicester male x Cheviot female) female) housed indoors and given thirteen forage diets were used to estimate the metabolizable energy (ME) required for maintenance. 2. ER was measured using the comparative slaughter technique, and the lambs were fed at severa...
متن کاملLysine requirement for maintenance in growing pigs
Probably due to methodological problems the knowledge about the AA requirement for maintenance in pigs is rather scarce. In the present study an alternative experimental approach was applied and its underlying hypothesis was tested, whether protein retention decreases with body weight (BW), when daily lysine intake remains constant and acts as the limiting factor for protein retention, and whet...
متن کاملProtein requirements of growing lambs.
I . The protein requirements of lambs were established by measuring nitrogen balance in seventy-four animals given liquid diets which passed direct to the abomasum. Four groups of lambs weighing approximately 8 kg (group I), 13 kg (group z), 21 kg (group 3) and 30 kg (group 4) received diets in which 0-10, 0.15, ozo,o'z5, 0 . 3 0 , 0 3 5 or w4oof thedigestibleenergy was provided as protein (DPE...
متن کاملEffect of previous nutrition on body composition and maintenance energy costs of growing lambs.
1. Forty-eight intact male lambs (30 kg) were fed to gain 16 (H), 5 (M) or -6 (L) kg during a 42 d interval (period 1). Lambs from each of the H and M groups were fed to gain either 16 (HH, MH), 5 (HM, MM) or -6 (HL, ML) kg and lambs from the L group were fed to gain 27 (LS), 16 (LH) or 5 (LM) kg during the ensuing 42 d (period 2). 2. Fasting heat production (FHP) of four lambs from each treatm...
متن کاملCalcium requirement of growing rabbits.
T HE minimum calcium requirement of growing rabbits has not been determined. In practice dietary calcium levels have been based largely on information gained from other animals. Commercial rabbit diets commonly contain 0.8 to 1.0% calcium. Since the domestic rabbit is extensively used as an experimental animal and is increasingly used as a source of edible meat, particularly in the Los Angeles ...
