Sentence examples for feed intensity from inspiring English sources
In conclusion, carcass traits in both trials were more affected by slaughter age than by feed intensity and desirable grazing effects were achieved on the pasture.
The objectives of the two factorially-designed trials were to determine the effects of indoor feed intensity (low vs. high) and slaughter age (18 vs. 22 months) on performance and carcass quality of beef heifers, raised from weaning until slaughter and grazing semi-natural grasslands during growing seasons.
These results indicate that feed intensity and breed influence energy mobilization.
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of high and low feed intensity starting one month before first calving on blood metabolites of energy balance in Holstein (H, n=14) and Swedish Red dairy breed (SRB, n=14) kept in a loose housing system.
Begum et al. (2008) reported a similar type of observation from their studies on the feeding intensity of M. gulio in the south-west coast of Bangladesh.
When medusae were manually kept at a constant feeding intensity, stomach fullness showed high variability both between individuals and within an individual over time.
This variability is non-synchronised in the population, causing high variability between individuals, and changes in the feeding intensity cause additional variability.
However, the average digestion time of A. aurita in a physically and nutritionally stable environment is robust, and changes in the feeding intensity give predictable effects.
Medusae subject to a switching from a low to a high feeding intensity tended to increase the variability, but most individuals showed a digestion time of 1 3 h.
The digestion time is simply given as the ratio between number of prey in stomach and total number of prey eaten, times the incubation time, assuming that the feeding intensity is constant.
With a feeding intensity of, respectively, 1, 2, 4 and 8 prey h−1 over a 5-h experimental period, stomach fullness of most individuals corresponded to a theoretical digestion time of 1 3 h, whereas single meals of the same size usually gave somewhat higher digestion time.
