Groups of four Friesian steers of 5-6 or 15-18 months of age
were offered one of six daily allowances of pasture DM, ranging from 2
to 12 kg/100 g liveweight, in each of three periods. Estimated DM
intake increased non-linearly with increasing allowance, with no
significant effect of age of animal on this relationship.
