Feed intake of sheep as affected by body weight, breed, sex, and feed composition.

Journal of animal science - 1 Feb 2010

Lewis R M, Emmans G C

Abstract excerpt

The hypotheses tested were that genetic size-scaling for mature BW (A, kg) would reduce variation in intake between kinds of sheep and that quadratic polynomials on u = BW/A with zero intercept would provide good descriptions of the relationship between scaled intake (SI, g/A(0.73) d) and degree of maturity in BW (u) across feeds of differing quality. Both sexes of Suffolk sheep from 2 experimental lines (n =...
