Development of a model for the prediction of feed intake by dairy cows: 1. Prediction of feed intake

Livestock Science, 2012
Abstract A study was undertaken to develop a model for the prediction of dry matter intake by lactating Holstein Friesian dairy cows. To estimate the model parameters, a calibration dataset was compiled with the data from 32 feeding experiments conducted at 9 different sites.

Genetic modeling of feed intake

Journal of Animal Science, 2015
ABSTRACT With the development of automatic self-feeders and electronic identification, automated, repeated measurements of individual feed intake (FI) and BW are becoming available in more species. Consequently, genetic models for longitudinal data need to be applied to study FI or related traits.

Palatability and feed intake regulations

1994
As a result of the increase in the total world population, more grains and animal products have to be produced for food. The competition between the humans and the birds for consuming grains, as wheat and maize, has triggered much research to find suitable alternative feedstuffs for poultry (milling by-products, animal by-products and biological waste).

Feed Quality and Feed Intake

1990
The control of food intake in mammals is highly complex. Some of the factors known to be involved in the initiation of hunger and in the inhibition of eating are listed below.
