Medlothian: BSAS, 2001. 1 CD ROM. p. 86.c2001  aAnimals consumed approximately 40% more of the higher WSC (AberDove) forage, which may be related to the significantly lower rumen ammonia-N or the lower fibre content of the high WSC grass. Since the N content of the grasses were similar the increased DM intake on AberDove resulted in an increased flow of N to and absorption from the small intestine. This along with the greater propionate : (acetate + butyrate) ratio may contribute to an increase in animal performance.  aBeef cattle1 aEVANS, R. T.1 aMOORBY, J. M.1 aHUMPHREYS, M.
