Tropical foliages: effect of presentation method and species on intake by goats (2005, background): “, 2000) or parts of plants with higher proportion of protein and lower proportion of tannins than in plants offered (Forbes, 1995; Kababya et al., 1998).”
Automatic detection of oestrus and health disorders using data from electronic sow feeders (2008, methodology): “…group housed sows fed by ESF, the daily feed consumption could provide information both for detecting oestrus and health disorders (Søllested, 2001; Forbes, 1995; Friend, 1973); ear based temperature (Bressers et al., 1994; Geers et al., 1996) or body activity (Bressers et al., 1993b; Cornou and…”
