Summary

Ventilation of hay with oxygen increased oxygen consumption (P< 0·001) and carbon dioxide formation (P<0·01) of two steers, when compared with nitrogen-ventilated hay. Heat production was about 5% higher in the oxygen-hay period than in the nitrogen-hay period (P< 0·001). No difference in digestibility of nutrients was observed between these treatments.
