A net carbohydrate and protein system for evaluating cattle diets: II. Carbohydrate and protein availability

C.J. Sniffen, John D. O’Connor, P.J. Van Soest et al. · 1 Nov 1992

The Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (CNCPS) has a submodel that predicts rates of feedstuff degradation in the rumen, the passage of undegraded feed to the lower gut, and the amount of ME and protein that is available to the animal. In the CNCPS, structural carbohydrate (SC) and nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) are estimated from…

Statistical analysis of repeated measures data using SAS procedures.

Ramon C. Littell, P. R. Henry, C. B. Ammerman · 1 Jan 1998

Mixed linear models were developed by animal breeders to evaluate genetic potential of bulls. Application of mixed models has recently spread to all areas of research, spurred by availability of advanced computer software. Previously, mixed model analyses were implemented by adapting fixed-effect methods to models with random effects. This imposed limitations on applicability because the…

Methane emissions from cattle

Kristen Johnson, Donald E. Johnson · 1 Aug 1995

Increasing atmospheric concentrations of methane have led scientists to examine its sources of origin. Ruminant livestock can produce 250 to 500 L of methane per day. This level of production results in estimates of the contribution by cattle to global warming that may occur in the next 50 to 100 yr to be a little…

Evaluation of Acid-Insoluble Ash as a Natural Marker in Ruminant Digestibility Studies

J. Van Keulen, Bruce A. Young · 1 Feb 1977

Comparisons were made of the total fecal collection method and Acid-Insoluble Ash (AIA) natural marker method for determination of dry matter digestibility coefficients of rations by sheep. Three laboratory analytical procedures [Concentrated (Cone.) HCl, 4N HCl and 2N HCl] which differed in ashing sequence, ashing temperature and acid strength, were used to determine the AIA…
