In grazing systems in Northern Australia, crude protein (CP) and phosphorus (P) availability varies, affecting ruminant production due to voluntary reduced intake and therefore body weight (BW) gain. We were interested in understanding metabolic regulation in this model system, both in terms of a) i...
