The relationship between forage cell wall content and voluntary food intake in mammalian herbivores - MEYER - 2010 - Mammal Review - Wiley Online Library: "It is generally assumed that animals compensate for a declining diet quality with increasing food intake. Differences in the response to decreasing forage quality in herbivores have been postulated particularly between cattle (ruminants) and horses (hindgut fermenters). However, empirical tests for both assumptions in herbivorous mammals are rare."
