CONTROL OF RUMEN TURNOVER IN NORTHERN RUMINANTS

Turnover of liquid and solid components in the rumen of reindeer and muskox fed high-quality diets change markedly in relation to intake on a seasonal basis. In moose variable intake induced by digestibility differences caused changes in rumen turnover similar to those induced by seasonal effects in...

Description
Summary:Turnover of liquid and solid components in the rumen of reindeer and muskox fed high-quality diets change markedly in relation to intake on a seasonal basis. In moose variable intake induced by digestibility differences caused changes in rumen turnover similar to those induced by seasonal effects in the reindeer and muskoxen. Key words: Northern ruminants, rumen turnover, seasonal food intake
