Measuring the variance in digestion rate of forages fed to ruminants [abstract]
Hackmann, Timothy, 1984- (University of Missouri - Columbia Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)Digestion rate of feed ingredients in ruminant diets highly influences nutrient utilization by affecting intake, digestibility, microbial efficiency, and other parameters key to animal performance. It is critical to have ... -
Modeling the flow of digesta through the ruminant reticulorumen
Hackmann, Timothy, 1984-; Spain, James Nobles, 1962-; Belyea, Ronald L. (Ronald Leslie), 1943- (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)Ruminants possess a specialized gastrointestinal (GI) tract that enables them to efficiently digest fibrous feeds. The first stomach compartment of the ruminant GI tract, the reticulorumen (RR), is the site of most fiber ... -
Studies of ruminant digestion, ecology, and evolution
Hackmann, Timothy, 1984- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)This thesis examines ruminant digestion, ecology, and evolution, particularly where they can improve livestock production systems. We performed an experiment that estimated ruminal in situ degradation parameter values of ...
