“…This was in accordance with Van Soest (1994) that the development of microbes in digesting feed is very dependent on the ingredients of feed intake. The results of this study were similar to Klinger et al (2007), who reported that in cattle fed with higher content of fibre causes higher crude fibre digestibility value compared with feed containing lower fibre.…”

This studywasaimed to examine the development and function ofdigestive organsof lamb in digesting feed based on feed digestibility valueandeating behaviour. The materials used were 11 lambs aged 3-4 months, body weight(BW)14.78 ± 1.99 kg (CV 3.98%), and 11 ramsaged 10-12 months, BW 22.18 ± 1.81 kg (CV 3.29%). The study used a completelyrandomized design of 2x2 in nestedpatterns. There were two ages compared (lambs vs ram) and every age was nested the diet i.e.100%Napiergrass (G100) vs mixed pellet 50% grass and 50% concentrate(G50C50). The diet was given at 3.5% of BW. Parameters observed were dry matter intake(DMI)and digestibility, eating and ruminating time. The results showed that were no significant differences between lambs and rams in DMI (averaged 3.33% BW),digestibility (averaged 49.00%), eating (192.56 min/d), and ruminating (364 min/d). Animalsgiven diet G50C50 had higher (P<0.05) DMI (666 vs 565 g/d), digestibility (50.49%vs 47.53%), and less (P<0.05) eating (47 vs 338 min/d) and ruminating (305 vs 423 min/d), as compared withthose fed diet G100.It is concludedthat the digestive tracts of lambs had developed and function to the stage similar to ram.

“…Similar results were found by Klinger et al, (2007) reported different type of feeding had significant effect (P<0.05) on rumination time in cattle while Grewal (1980) observed that there was no significant difference in rumination time between two levels of concentrates. McCleod et al, (1994) [10] observed that the time spent on rumination was not affected by feeding sequence of hay averaging 428 minutes and rumination tended to occur when there was no eating activity.…”

“…Projection of liveweight gain (1.22 kg d -1 ) for the ad libitum-fed high-forage cattle and the amount of DM required for the limit-fed high-grain cattle to achieve the same rate of gain were based on the DMI equations for large-frame steers (NRC 1984) and a subset of the net energy of maintenance and gain equations (NRC 1996). The equations used for prediction are given in our companion paper (Klinger et al 2007). The simpler approach of NRC (1984) was chosen over the more detailed approach of NRC (1996) as environment, pen conditions and management were similar for all cattle.…”

. 2007. The effects of limit feeding a high-energy barley-based diet to backgrounding cattle in western Canada. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 87: 385-391. A series of three completely randomized design trials were conducted to compare the effects of a limit-fed high-grain diet relative with that of an ad libitum-fed high-forage diet on performance of growing cattle with similar total energy intakes. In trial 1, the ad libitum-fed high-forage diet was formulated to 1.58 and 0.98 Mcal NE m and NE g kg -1 DM. The high-grain diet was formulated to 1.91 Mcal NE m and 1.23 Mcal NE g kg -1 DM. Projected liveweight gains (1.22 kg d -1 ) and the amount of DM provided to the limit-fed high-grain cattle were based on the NE m and NE g equations for liveweight gain of large-frame steers (NRC 1984). A similar feeding regime was employed for trials 2 and 3; however, it was necessary to reduce energy intake equally after 30 d on feed to control weight gains. In trial 1, the limit-fed high-grain cattle had similar (P > 0.05) ADG and lower (P < 0.05) DMI than the ad libitum-fed high-forage cattle, leading to a 15.4% improvement (P < 0.05) in feed efficiency. Feed efficiency was improved (P < 0.05) by 16.9% in trial 2 and by 21.2% in trial 3 for the limit-fed high-grain cattle, primarily as a result of reduced (P < 0.05) DM intake and similar (P > 0.05) daily gains. Back fat accretion rates were greater (P < 0.05) in the limit-fed high-grain cattle, indicating differences in energy partitioning. The incidence of severe liver abscesses was greater (P < 0.05) for the limit-fed high-grain cattle in trial 2. These results indicate that limit feeding a high-grain diet to backgrounding cattle can be employed to target specific rates of gain and improve feed efficiency although managing acidosis to prevent liver abscesses may be an issue.

Conséquences d'un régime rationné à base d'orge très énergétique sur l'engraissement des bovins dans l'Ouest canadien. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 87: 385-391. Les auteurs ont procédé à trois expériences entièrement randomisées afin de comparer les effets d'un régime riche en grain mais rationné à ceux d'un régime riche en fourrages mais servi à satiété sur le rendement des bovins en croissance recevant un apport énergétique global similaire. Lors de la première expérience, la ration riche en fourrages servie ad libitum avait été formulée pour fournir 1,58 Mcal de NE m et 0,98 Mcal de NE g par kg de matière sèche. Celle riche en grain avait été confectionnée pour fournir 1,91 Mcal de NE m et 1,23 Mcal de NE g par kg de matière sèche. Le gain de poids vif prévu (1,22 kg par jour) et la quantité de matière sèche fournie aux bovins rationnés reposaient sur les équations de la NE m et de la NE g servant à calculer le gain de poids vif des bovins de grande taille (CNRC 1984). Les auteurs ont recouru à un régime similaire dans la deuxième et la troisième expérience, mais ont dû réduir...
