The aim of this work was to evaluate if the n-alkanes (C32) technique can be used to determine voluntary dry matter intake (DMI) and dry matter digestibility (DMD) in grazing donkeys. Two experiments were carried out; in trial 1 DMI and DMD were meas... Read More about Use of n-alkanes for estimation of voluntary intake and digestibility in donkeys (Equus asinus).

The estimation of dry matter intake (DMI) using the alkane pair technique has been validated in ruminants, but not in equids. The current paper reports the finding of three comparative validation studies carried out using a total of 12 cattle, 29 don...
