Feed intake of sheep when allowed ad libitum access to feed in methane respiration chambers.
The patterns of feed intake when animals are allowed ad libitum access to feed in a respiration chamber is not known, nor are the potential effects of the artificial environment of chambers on voluntary feed intake. The objectives of the study were to describe the pattern of hourly feed intake of sheep when fed for ad libitum intake in respiration chambers and determine the repeatability of thi...
متن کاملEffects of ad libitum and restricted feed intake on growth performance and body composition of Yorkshire pigs selected for reduced residual feed intake.
Residual feed intake (RFI), defined as the difference in the observed and expected feed intake while accounting for growth and backfat, has gained much attention, but little is known about why pigs selected for reduced RFI are more efficient. To this end, a line of Yorkshire pigs selected for reduced RFI was developed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the 5th generation of this selec...
متن کاملPerformance and individual feed intake characteristics of group-housed sows fed a nonstarch polysaccharides diet ad libitum during gestation over three parities.
The objective of this experiment was to study the effects of feeding group-housed gestating sows a diet with a high level of fermentable nonstarch polysaccharides (NSP; approximately 45% sugar beet pulp as fed) ad libitum on the development in individual feed intake characteristics and reproductive performance during three successive reproduction cycles. Performance of the ad libitum-fed sows w...
متن کاملEffects of Programmed Feeding to a Constant Average Daily Gain vs. Ad Libitum Feed Intake on Performance and Carcass Characteristics of Finishing Beef Steers
Thirty-two Angus steers were used in a 140d feeding trial to examine the effects of ad libitum feed intake or a programmed rate of gain on feedlot performance and carcass characteristics. Ad libitum-fed steers had greater (P < .06) DMI, ADG, and feed efficiency from d 0 to 28, 0 to 56, and 0 to 84 than programmed-fed steers; however, no differences in ADG, DMI, or feed efficiency were detected ...
متن کاملComparison of behaviour, performance and mortality in restricted and ad libitum-fed growing rabbits.
The objective of this study was to determine whether rabbits fed in a restricted regimen (75%) showed increased competition for feeding, drinking and use of specific areas of the cages as compared with those provided feed ad libitum. This evaluation was carried out by measuring their space utilisation in the cage, the incidence of agonistic behaviour and rates of mortality. In total, 504 rabbit...
