SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"This report reviews the energy and protein requirement systems for dairy cows currently used in the UK and presents a new approach, along with the outline of a model for its implementation." "Models which embody concepts of nutrient supply and utilization are reviewed and their development as viable alternatives to the current energy and protein systems are considered. It is concluded that a new diet formulation system for dairy cows should aim to predict voluntary feed intake, the partition of nutrient use between milk production and tissue deposition, and the short- and long-term. It is an authoritative review for advanced students, research workers and advisors in animal nutrition and dairy science."--BOOK JACKET.
