Alternative temperate forages containing secondary compounds for improving sustainable productivity in grazing ruminants (2005, background): “Negative effects of diets with high levels of rumen degradable protein on survival of gametes, zygotes, utero-oviductal microenvironment and foetal growth have been reported previously (Blanchard et al., 1990; Findlay et al., 1990; Elrod and Butler, 1993; Elrod et al., 1993; McEvoy et al., 1997, 200”
Reproductive loss in high-producing dairy cattle: where will it end? (2001, background): “Negative energy balance reduces postpartum LH pulsatility and, therefore, delays the resumption of ovarian activity (Beam and Butler, 1999; Butler, 2000).”
Livestock production: recent trends, future prospects (2010, background): “The paper concludes (§5) with a summary outlook on livestock production systems evolution over the coming decades and some of the key uncertainties.”
Effects of nutrition and management on the production and composition of milk fat and protein: a review (2004, background): “Peak milk yield and the associated peak in the cow’s energy requirements occur before the potential for maximum DM intake is reached so that cows in early lactation experience a period of negative energy balance (Butler 2000).”
