The Effects of Estrus on Dry Matter Intake and Feeding Behavior in Beef Heifers of Divergent Sizes
(North Dakota State University, 2020)The biological process of estrus in cattle is known to initiate behavioral responses as a result of fluctuations in hormones, which may alter time budgeted for feeding. The current study aimed to quantify these variations ... -
Influence of Plasma Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Profile, Urea-Nitrogen, Glucose and Non-Esterified Fatty Acids on Dry Matter Intake in Developing Heifers and Mature Cows
(North Dakota State University, 2022)The objective of this experiment was to determine if nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) profiles or blood metabolites could explain dry matter intake (DMI) in developing heifers and/or mature cows in the weeks leading to ...
