Extract

The intake of silage has been shown to either increase (England & Gill, 1985), decrease (Gill et al., 1987) or remain unchanged (Steen, 1985) in response to increasing levels of fishmeal supplementation. The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect of two levels of fishmeal supplementation on voluntary intake, together with studies on digestion in the rumen, to try to elucidate the different mechanisms involved.
