Artifact Description

The independenl effects of sward height (I, 2, 3, 5 and 8 cm) x bulk density (0.65, 1.30, 2.90 mg DM/cm3) variation on the ingestive behaviour of Romney ewes and Red deer hinds were examined in seedling swards which simulated a leafy grass sward of low shear strength. Depth of penetration, horizontal area of herbage severed per bite, weight of each bite and the rate of intake all increased with increasing height, while the rate of biting decreased (P
