An evaluation of n-alkanes as markers to estimate dry matter intake, diet selection and solid digesta passage rates in ruminants
Study 1 (exp 1, 2, and 3) assessed the use of alkanes for estimating diet composition and intake in lambs. In exp 1, 36 lambs at 30% and 45% of projected mature sizes were used in a factorial design with 2 breeds (Suffolk and Scottish Blackface), two sexes (male and female) and three feed treatments...
