Bisoniana LXVI. Comparison of forage intake and digestibility by American bison, yak and cattle
Open accessAbstract
Feed intake, selectivity and apparent digestibility coefficients of dry matter, protein and detergent fiber fractions were determined in groups of four yearling bison, yak and cattle. Diets of contrasting quality for these comparisons were provided by native sedge meadow hay, bromefescue grass hay and alfalfa hay. Oznaczono zapotrzebowanie pokarmowe, wybiórczość i współczynniki strawności suchej masy, białka oraz skladników węglowodanowych u rocznych bizonów, jaków i bydła. Do doświadczeń wzięto po cztery zwierzęta każdego gatunku i karmiono je sianem turzycy, stokłosy kostrzewy lub lucerny, zróżnicowanym pod względem zawartości włókna (Tabela 1).

Consistently low temperatures and low primary productivity in the range of the wild yak, and most domestic yaks, result in a strategy of heat conservation rather than heat production, although digestive efficiency of low-quality forage may be enhanced.
“Consistently low temperatures and low primary productivity in the range of the wild yak, and most domestic yaks, result in a strategy of heat conservation rather heat production (Sarkar et al. 1999a;Wiener et al. 2003), although digestive efficiency of low-quality forage may be enhanced (Richmond et al. 1977;Schaefer et al. 1978).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
