Description:

Feed intake, selectivity and apparent digestibility coefficients of dry matter, protein and detergent fiber fractions were determined in groups of four yearling bison, yak and cattle. Diets of contrasting quality for these comparisons were provided by native sedge meadow hay, bromefescue grass hay and alfalfa hay. Oznaczono zapotrzebowanie pokarmowe, wybiórczość i współczynniki strawności suchej masy, białka oraz skladników węglowodanowych u rocznych bizonów, jaków i bydła. Do doświadczeń wzięto po cztery zwierzęta każdego gatunku i karmiono je sianem turzycy, stokłosy kostrzewy lub lucerny, zróżnicowanym pod względem zawartości włókna (Tabela 1).
