Dairy Ruminant Intake Orchestration via Frequency and Sequence of Feeding: Lights in Prospect

Akbar Nikkhah

This editorial seeks to critically discuss feed intake regulation cascade probably driven by feeding frequency (FF) and feeding sequence (FS) in dairy ruminants. The article also introduces research prospects for producing lucid and definitive conclusions to help develop on-farm applicable management strategies. A great deal of attention has been paid to FF in dairy ruminants [1-6]. A multitude of factors including dietary forage to concentrate ratio, total mixed ration vs. component feeding, cereal grain type, processing method, cow productivity, ambient temperature, and dietary use of bST and their interactions mediate cow response to FF. Once can the individual and interactive effects outlined above be determined, dairy ruminant response to FF may be quantified.
