Response to dietary tannin challenges in view of the browser/grazer dichotomy in an Ethiopian setting : Bonga sheep versus Kaffa goats [PDF]
, 2015 It has been suggested that goats (typical browser) are better adapted to digest tannin-rich diets than sheep (typical grazer). To evaluate this, Bonga sheep and Kaffa goats were used in a 2x3 randomized crossover design with two species, three diets, and

Modelling net energy of commercial cat diets.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Net energy accounts for the proportion of energy expenditure attributed to the digestion, metabolism, and absorption of ingested food. Currently, there are no models available to predict net energy density of food for domestic cats.

Metabolizable Energy Requirements of Pregnant Dairy Cows
Journal of Dairy Science, 1972 Abstract Energy balance measurements related the amount of metabolizable energy required by the pregnant cow to the stage of pregnancy. The amount of metabolizable energy required at term was 75% above that of a nonpregnant animal of equal weight. The increase in metabolizable energy requirement during the course of pregnancy was described by the ...

The influence of shc proteins and aging on whole body energy expenditure and substrate utilization in mice. [PDF]
, 2012 While it has been proposed that Shc family of adaptor proteins may influence aging by regulating insulin signaling and energy metabolism, the overall impact of Shc proteins on whole body energy metabolism has yet to be elucidated.

Measuring Metabolizable Energy with Mature Hens
Poultry Science, 1979 Abstract Metabolizable energy (ME) values of some ingredients were determined using laying hens. Diets used in these studies were composed primarily of the test ingredient plus minerals and vitamins. Mature hens, housed in separate cages, were permitted to adjust to each test diet for about 2 weeks, followed by a 3 or 4 day collection during which ...

Metabolizable Energy Nomenclature for Poultry Feedstuffs
Poultry Science, 1983 Abstract The use of the terms “apparent metabolizable energy” (AME) and “true metabolizable energy” (TME) is confusing and misleading. In proposing the “true” energy system, Harris (1966) confused the conceptual definition of metabolizable energy (ME) (Fraps, 1946) with the experimental techniques and resulting formulae for estimating its value ...

Evaluation of the effects of rations with different levels of metabolizable energy on performance of laying hens [PDF]
Āsīb/shināsī-i Darmāngāhī-i Dāmpizishkī, 2009 This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of rations with different levels of energy on performance of laying hens. The experiment was conducted with two hundred and fifty six laying hens of commercial Hi-Line W-36 strain in a completely ...
