Abstract

Individual animal feed intake systems such as the Feed Intake Monitoring System (FIMS) at the Armstrong Research Farm have become standard technology for beef cattle research. While these systems greatly increase the statistical power and efficiency of research facilities, an ad libitum feed management approach is necessary to allow cattle to have unlimited feed accessibility to express their desired intake.
