Publication Date: | 2009 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/5129 | Abstract: | Hot climatic conditions can lower an animal’s production by altering physiological characteristics and behaviour and thereby affect feed intake, digestibility and live weight gain. Various feed additives have been evaluated for heat stress management (Cronjé, 2005). This study was conducted to evaluate, under both cool and hot conditions, the behavioural and physiological responses of Merino wethers given a diet of lucerne pellets with or without a yeast-based feed additive. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | RAAN 2009: Recent Advances in Animal Nutrition - Australia, Armidale, Australia, 12th - 15th July, 2009 | Source of Publication: | Recent Advances in Animal Nutrition - Australia, v.17, p. 191-191 | Publisher: | University of New England | Place of Publication: | Armidale, Australia | ISSN: | 0819-4823 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070204 Animal Nutrition | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 830310 Sheep - Meat | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.conferencecompany.com.au/animalnutrition/RAAN_Full_Program.pdf http://www.conferencecompany.com.au/animalnutrition/ |
