Patterns of intake and digestibility by cattle and sheep of feed mixtures with roughage source, particle size and level of inclu
It has been postulated that intake of feed mixtures will increase with increasing levels of concentrate until a peak is reached, whereafter it will decline again due to a lack of roughage to ensure a healthy rumen environment. Thus, it…
The description of growth in beef bulls and interpretation of genotypic differences on two dietary treatments
Growth of beef bulls has been studied with the aid of the three genotypes, the Afrikaner, Hereford and Simmentaler. The study ranged from birth to about 80 weeks of age. Half of the bull calves were raised on a concentrate…
Linear carcass measurements as indicators of body fat content in the pig
This study was undertaken to investigate the suitability of various carcass fat measurements as predictors of total body fat in the pig in order to minimize the time, labour and costs involved in carcass evaluation techniques. A total of 33…
Dissected sample joints as indicators of body fat content in the pig
This study was undertaken to investigate the suitability of various dissected carcass joints as predictors of total body fat in the carcass in order to minimize the time, labour and costs involved in carcass evaluation techniques. A total of 22…
Die berekening van ’n praktiese korreksiemetode vir C + K ultrasoniese vetmate op die lewende vark
The calculation of fitted values for c + k ultrasonic fat measurements on the live pig at a specific mass. The aim of this study was to calculate a reliable and practical correction method for use in ultrasonically measured C…
Die invloed van bakteriese besmetting van uierkwarte op melksamestelling en –produksie
This study was undertaken to determine the loss in milk-production of each quarter of the udder in which bacterial infection was present and also to ascertain its influence on certain milk components. Milk analyses were done on milk samples from…
