Goal Programming Estimates of Livestock Roughage Consumption, by Type of Roughage, by State, 1971-73 [PDF]
This report uses the goal programming concept to estimate livestock roughage consumption by type of roughage and State. The concept involves multiple conflicting objectives or goals which are evaluated subject to goal and nongoal constraints. The goal programming algorithm develops a solution to a multiple objective problem by minimizing the ...

Metabolic changes in ruminant calves fed cation-anion diets with different proportions of roughage and concentrate [PDF]
Two experiments were carried out with twenty-four male weaned Holstein calves to verify the influence of different dietary cation-anion concentrate and roughage proportions on calves metabolism. In the first experiment, calves were fed rations with -100,

Evaluation of Roughage Production Potential in Turkey: The Case of Kırşehir Province
It is well known that the need for quality roughage to maintain the level of intake by livestock is not met in Turkey. It is a fact accepted by everyone that the resulting deficit is tried to be compensated by using cereal straw.

Dietary fibre: a roughage guide [PDF]
Abstract The concept of dietary fibre is a complex one that incorporates the physical and physiological functions of fibre and its effects both systemically and local to the gastrointestinal tract. Dietary fibre can be usefully classified according to its solubility and fermentability, which allows rational clinical application.

Silage From Intercropping Of Maize With Common Beans (Phaseolus Vulgaris) As Roughage For Fattening Pigs [PDF]
Maize silage is a high-energy roughage that can be fed to fattening pigs to provide both employment and additional nutrients. Intercropping of maize with common beans was tested to produce a roughage higher in protein, but was still found to contain ...

Chemical treatment of roughage [PDF]
Chemical treatment of roughage has been the aim of studies for a long time. However, until nowadays, many questions are arisen due to the efficiency of additives used in relation to the variation of answers, either in nutritive value of treated roughage or in performance of animals feed with diet containing such roughage.

Domestic cattle (Bos taurus taurus) are motivated to obtain forage and demonstrate contrafreeloading. [PDF]
Domestic cattle (Bos taurus taurus) are adapted to digest high-roughage diets, but in confinement they are commonly fed low-roughage, high-energy diets. This practice may leave cattle with an unfulfilled need to consume forage.
