A TWO‐STAGE TECHNIQUE FOR THE IN VITRO DIGESTION OF FORAGE CROPSGrass and Forage Science - Tập 18 Số 2 - Trang 104-111 - 1963
J. M. A. Tilley, R. A. Terry
A simple technique for the determination in vitro of the dry‐ or organic‐matter digestibility of small (0·5 g) samples of dried forages is described. It involves incubation first with rumen liquor and then with acid pepsin. Using 146 samples of grass, clover and lucerne of known in vivo digestibility (Y), the ...... hiện toàn bộ
On the analysis of dacron bag data for low degradability feedsGrass and Forage Science - Tập 43 Số 4 - Trang 441-444 - 1988

AbstractThe effect of lag phase on the estimates of parameters from the analysis of dacron bags is investigated. Simultaneous estimation of the lag parameter within the McDonald model is shown to be advantageous.
Individual and socially learned preferences for biserrula (Biserrula pelecinus L.) in sheepGrass and Forage Science - Tập 70 Số 2 - Trang 374-380 - 2015
D. Thomas, J. T. B. Milton, C. K. Revell, M. A. Ewing, D. R. Lindsay
AbstractThis study examined how sheep develop a learned aversion to the annual legume biserrula (Biserrula pelecinus L.). Merino sheep were grazed on paddocks sown with either (i) biserrula, (ii) biserrula + ryegrass (Lolium rigidum Gaud.), (iii) crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L....... hiện toàn bộ
THE INFLUENCE OF SEVERAL FACTORS IN DETERMINING THE GRAZING BEHAVIOUR OF BORDER LEICESTER × MERINO SHEEPGrass and Forage Science - Tập 17 Số 1 - Trang 41-51 - 1962
GW Arnold
Over a period of 20 months twenty continuous, 24‐hour, observations were made on the grazing behaviour of Border Leicester × Merino sheep. Distinct seasonal changes were found in the pattern of grazing. Grazing usually began during the dawn period and decreased at dusk. In spring and summer there were two peaks of grazing, but there was only one peak in autumn and winter. The percentage of...... hiện toàn bộ
Selective defoliation by sheep according to slope and plant species in the hill country of New ZealandGrass and Forage Science - Tập 58 Số 4 - Trang 339-349 - 2003
Ignacio F. López, John Hodgson, Duncan Hedderley, Ian Valentine, M. G. Lambert
AbstractThe objective of the study was to evaluate the grazing behaviour by sheep in hill country paddocks in New Zealand which had received two long‐term fertilization and stocking rate treatments [high fertility–high stocking rate (HH); low fertility–low stocking rate (LL)]. Herbage accumulation and selective grazing were evaluated within low slope (LS), medium s...... hiện toàn bộ
Chemical Composition, in vitro digestibility and in vitro VTA concentrations of New Mexico native foragesGrass and Forage Science - Tập 44 Số 1 - Trang 101-105 - 1989
Jerry L. Holechek, Rick E. Estell, M. L. Galyean, Wayne Richards
AbstractComparative chemical composition, in vitro digestibility, and in vitro volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentration and molar proportions of current year's growth of twelve important native New Mexico forage species were evaluated. Volatile fatty acid data were collected on forage samples subjected to 12‐h ... hiện toàn bộ
