Abstract

AbstractThis chapter reviews the main themes and issues in modelling the processes involved in feed intake in ruminants. It also discusses the application of mathematical modelling (digesta kinetics and metabolic models) for the accurate prediction of feed intake and digestion for specific feed combinations and animal characteristics; and testing of hypotheses and treatments in an experimental programme to generate new data.
