Body fatness affects feed intake of sheep at a given body weight
Tolkamp, B. J.; Emmans, G. C.; Kyriazakis, I. (2006)In a 1-yr experiment, nutritional treatments were used to produce different combinations of BW and BCS in lambs. The experiment served to quantify the effects of BW and BCS on ADFI by sheep. Ewe lambs (n = 78) were assigned ... -
The effects of pathogen challenges on the performance of naive and immune animals: the problem of prediction
Sandberg, F. B.; Emmans, G. C.; Kyriazakis, I. (2007)Predictive frameworks for performance under both physical and social stressors are available, but no general framework yet exists for predicting the performance of animals exposed to pathogens. The aim of this paper was ... -
A model for predicting feed intake of growing animals during exposure to pathogens
Sandberg, F. B.; Emmans, G. C.; Kyriazakis, I. (2006)A general model is proposed for predicting the effects of subdinical pathogen challenges of different doses and virulence on the relative feed intake (RFI) of animals. The RFI is defined as the feed intake (FI, kg/d) of ...
