Body

Based on a study utilizing total feces collection to estimate forage intake of grazing animals, the "animal gain-forage intake" relationship can be improved by removing a maintenance factor from the intake estimates. These data indicated that differences in digestible dry matter intake explained much of the variation in body weight gain of steers grazing both tall fescuelespedeza and orchardgrass-clover pastures.
