Chavez, S. J., Siciliano, P. D., & Huntington, G. B. (2014, March 19). Journal of Animal Science, Vol. 92, pp. 2304–2308.

By: S. Chavez n, P. Siciliano n & G. Huntington n

author keywords: alkanes; horses; intake; pasture; tall fescue
MeSH headings : Animal Feed / analysis; Animals; Body Weight; Cross-Over Studies; Diet / veterinary; Feeding Behavior / physiology; Horses / physiology; Lolium; Male
topics (OpenAlex): Plant and fungal interactions; Ruminant Nutrition and Digestive Physiology; Plant Toxicity and Pharmacological Properties
TL;DR: Alkanes can be used to estimate pasture or hay DMI and DMD, and pasture intake exceeded hay intake when offered ad libitum, in conclusion. (via Semantic Scholar)

Use of plant hydrocarbons as markers to estimate voluntary intake and digestibility in beef steers

Chavez, S. J., Huntington, G. B., & Burns, J. S. (2011, February 17). Livestock Science.

By: S. Chavez n, G. Huntington n & J. Burns n

author keywords: Alkanes; Cattle; Intake; Digestion
topics (OpenAlex): Ruminant Nutrition and Digestive Physiology; Genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock; Reproductive Physiology in Livestock
TL;DR: Calculating dry matter intake of grazing herbivores has been an issue in determining factors such as efficiency and digestibility of forages, and two experiments were conducted using alkanes to validate analytical methods with oven-dried and freeze-d dried samples, compare and contrast measured and estimated intake.
