Review: Feed efficiency and metabolic flexibility in livestock by W.M. Rauw, L.H. Baumgard, J.C.M. Dekkers

“…Feed efficiency also depends on processes that are not directly related to economically important phenotypes, which can be considered ‘waste’ from a production point of view but are vital maintenance-related functions that are closely associated with environmental flexibility and adaptation. Resource allocation theory suggests that an animal’s resource budget is narrowed when production efficiency is improved through an increase in productive output, along with a decrease in feed intake (capacity) and body reserves (improved leanness). …”

Study on Intelligent Compaction-Equipment Logistics Scheduling and Propagation Characteristics of Vibration Wave in Nonlinear Systems with Multistability Based on Field Test by Yixuan Han, Changwei Yang, Degou Cai, Hongye Yan, Hailing Zeng

“…Third, in the propagation process, with the increase in buried depth, the amplitude of fundamental, primary, secondary, until fifth harmonics decreases exponentially (R2>0.9), and the concrete functional relationship among different amplitudes of harmonics can be summarized as y = Ae−BX; fourth, the vibration energy is mainly concentrated near 10–30 Hz in the vibratory roller, but when the vibration wave propagates from vibratory roller⟶filling material, the vibration energy gradually decreases with the increase in depth, and the marginal spectrum gradually changes from one peak to two peaks, that is, 30–50 Hz and 50–100 Hz; fifth, the vibration energy in the vibrational wheel is distributed averagely in the compaction process, and the effective compaction time is two seconds, which will be helpful for revealing the propagation characteristics of vibration wave, optimizing the compaction quality control models and providing some support for the development of intelligent compaction theory of railway subgrade.…”
