Forage utilization by kids and lambs
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1985)
Comparative aspects of intake, digestibility, partitioning of digestion, energy requirement, energy utilization and water metabolism of kids and lambs have been made.
Ad libitum intake and digestibility were determined ...
Kinetic aspects of calcium metabolism in forage fed sheep
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1986)
The kinetics of calcium metabolism in forage fed sheep has been investigated using ⁴⁵Calcium and compartmental analysis, using the SAAM program. Two physiological states, lactation and growth, were studied. During early ...
Utilization of low quality roughage by goats and sheep
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1988)
A sequential series of studies was conducted to investigate the utilization of low quality roughage by goats and sheep. It has been suggested that goats were able to eat more of, and possibly better digest, low quality ...
Effects of supplementation with protein, or amino acids on performance of grazing dairy cows in late lactation
(Lincoln University, 1996)
Sixty seven Friesian dairy cows were monitored for eleven weeks in late lactation
(weeks 23-33 of lactation) to measure their milk production, intake and live weight response to protein or amino acid supplementation. The ...
The effect of terpenes on short term and long term intake of sheep
(Lincoln University, 1994)
Two trials were carried out to test the effect of terpene type and concentration on short term and long term intake in sheep. In trial one, short term intake rate measurements were performed on five wethers with a mean ...
Nutritional value of mixed diets in cattle
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1985)
Field trials suggest that the nutritive value of high quality, high moisture feeds may be improved by the addition of a small quantity of roughage.
The nutritional value to steers of two high qualities, high moisture ...
Straw feeding trials with sheep
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1967)
The cereal industry produces a lot of by-products such as barley, oat and wheat straws, Jawar and Bajara straws. These straws have high contents of crude fibre and low protein.
When they are fed as such, the animal does ...
Glucose metabolism of fed, starved and toxaemic pregnant sheep
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1980)
Glucose metabolism was studied in fed, starved and toxaemic ewes in the last month of gestation to ascertain causes of hypoglycaemia, and to determine whether the glucose metabolism of sheep susceptible to ovine pregnancy ...
Nutritional strategies for slimming overfat lambs
(Lincoln University, 1996)
Two studies were carried out to examine change in body composition of overfat lambs under different dietary slimming regimes with the objective of reducing carcass fat while maintaining or gaining carcass muscle. In the ...
Pasture production, nitrogen responses and sheep liveweight gain from Caucasian and white clover pastures
(Lincoln University, 2001)
The autumn pasture production and liveweight gain (LWG) from Caucasian and white clover/ryegrass pastures, maintained at high and low soil fertility, were measured in a grazing experiment at Lincoln University, Canterbury. ...
