Reduction of specific energy consumption by 1 – 2% per year is typically what is considered feasible for end-use energy applications. This article tries to answer the question whether much higher rates, for example 5% and more are feasible for new equipment, installations and buildings. After examining some end-use functions in industry, buildings and the transport sector, it is concluded that ...

A study to compare two feeding systems, stall feeding (SF) and grazing plus supplementation (GR) was carried out, based on intake, performance and rumen fermentation characteristics of lambs. While SF animals received ad libitum complete feed blocks (CFB), GR animals were allowed grazing for 8 h on a pasture and supplemented with concentrate mixture at 250 g per head per day. Intake in grazing ...
