“…From our results, as from those obtained indoors with pellets [18] and outdoors with adjacent monocultures of clover and grass [1], it appears that a binary choice could be sufficient to stimulate intake. The present systems of prediction of forage intake [15] ignore the possible effect of diversity on voluntary intake. It would be useful to extend the present results to more long term situations and to other types of herbivores (species, physiological stages and nutrient requirements), and to know whether the animals could obtain benefit from a choice situation, or whether they would become gradually accustomed to the choice situation and no longer increase their daily intake.…”

“…Ces relations ont été bien mises en évidence chez des animaux de type Pie-noir, mais peu de travaux ont été entrepris pour quantifier un éventuel effet de la race sur la capacité d'ingestion des animaux laitiers (Korver, 1982 ;Gruber et al, 1991 On sait pourtant que ce facteur joue un rôle important chez les animaux à viande (Petit et al, 1987). Chez les vaches laitières de race anglo-saxonnes, des coefficients de correction ont aussi été proposés pour tenir compte de cet effet (Fox et al, 1992 (Jarrige et al, 1986 ;Dulphy et al, 1987 (Garnsworthy, 1988 …”

“…Other authors use intake systems that are applied in a local context, such as the Danish "bulk system" or the French "fill unit system" [23,24]. In both approaches, a bulk content parameter is associated to each feedstuff and each cow has a bulk intake capacity described by deterministic equations [48].…”
