Kellner (1920)) in his calorimetric studies with cattle, showed that, as the fibre content of the ration increased, the net availability of its metabolizable energy fell. He attributed this fall to the additional physical work with consequent loss of heat in comminuting and digesting the more fibrous food. This cause may not be the sole contributor. Data in the literature, as summarized in Tabl...
