Typical diets for finishing cattle are concentrate-rich and low in roughage, which may limit
species-specific feeding behaviours and increase the risk of digestive disorder. Our …

A thwarting test, where animals are able to interact with feed but not consume it, can be used
to measure how valued the resource is. It is expected that feedlot cattle will be motivated to …
