Contributors; Preface; Introduction: History and Future of Modelling Nutrient Utilization in Farm Animals; 1 The Role of Thermodynamics in Controlling Rumen Metabolism; 2 Modelling Lipid Metabolism in the Rumen; 3 Towards a More Accurate Representation of Fermentation in Mathematical Models of the Rumen; 4 Simple Allometric Models to Predict Rumen Feed Passage Rate in Domestic Ruminants; 5 Ruminal Metabolism of Buffersoluble Proteins, Peptides and Amino Acids In Vitro; 6 Models to Interpret Degradation Profiles Obtained from In Vitro and In Situ Incubation of Ruminant Feeds |
| Summary |
This book presents edited and revised versions of papers presented at the Fifth International Workshop on Modelling Nutrient Utilization in Farm Animals, held at the University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa, 25-28 October 1999. There are 31 chapters and 6 sections entitled ruminal metabolism, absorption and metabolism, growth and development, ruminant production in various situations, nutrient metabolism, and production and evaluation models |
