Deuterium oxide dilution can be used to determine the net energy content of feeds for dairy cattle and goats
This article explores a technique for measuring the energy (NEL) value of feeds without respiration calorimetry or slaughter. The objectives were to compare results obtained from goats with those from cows, and to describe factors which limited the precision of these NEL estimates. One lactating Alpine doe and one lactateing Holstein cow were assigned to each of six different sequences of three...
متن کاملLiquid Feeds and Sugars in Diets for Dairy Cattle
Sugars are rapidly and extensively fermented in the rumen. Clearly, adding sugar to a diet already high in ruminally degraded carbohydrates should offer little benefit and could decrease digestibility of fiber, whereas diets that have less-than-optimal rumen degraded carbohydrate probably will benefit the most from addition of sugars. Therefore, dietary situations influence the optimum feeding ...
متن کاملVariability in mineral and trace element content of dairy cattle feeds.
Trace element content of feeds is extremely variable compared to total digestible nutrients or protein. Differences are wide between low and high values for many trace elements within a given type of feed. Coefficients of variation for forages range from 42 to 100%. Summary data are given for both major and trace elements. Problems in supplementation are discussed. Amounts for some elements are...
متن کاملA Formula for Estimating Surface Area of Dairy Cattle
It has long been accepted as a fact that heat production in the animal body is due to the oxidation processes within the body, and hence is an accurate measure of the rate of metabolism. In order to utilize this standard in research, it becomes necessary to devise a satisfactory method for comparing the heat production of animals of different sizes. Very early in nutritional investigations it b...
