β¦ Synopsis
A mixture of 15 amino acids was either added to the basal silage diet (sheep and cattle) or infused intraruminally (cattle) to determine the role of amino acids in the control of silage intake. Neither dietary addition nor intraruminal infusion of the amino acid mixture in sheep or cattle had a signiΓcant e β ect on intake compared to the control (P [ 0Γ05). However, in cattle, dietary addition of the amino acid mixture increased intake compared with intraruminal infusion of the amino acid mixture (P \ 0Γ01). It was concluded that the amino acid content of the basal silage is not involved in the control of silage intake by sheep or cattle.
