Is Hand Plucking an Accurate Method of Estimating Bite Mass and Instantaneous Intake of Grazing Herbivores? [PDF]
Rangeland Ecology and Management, 2011 Instantaneous intake is central to the understanding of large herbivore foraging strategies and rangeland ecology. Unfortunately, its measurement under field conditions remains challenging because of the difficulty of estimating bite mass. The hand plucking method provides a simple, noninvasive method of estimating bite masses and thus instantaneous ...

Ingestive behaviour of grazing ruminants: meta-analysis of the components of bite mass
Animal Feed Science and Technology, 2019 Bite mass (BM) is the main parameter determining intake, production level and efficiency for grazing ruminants. Various data have been published concerning BM and its components bite diameter, bite area, bite depth and bite volume (BDiam, BA, BD and BV).

Effect of gender, facial dimensions, body mass index and type of functional occlusion on bite force [PDF]
Journal of Applied Oral Science, 2011 OBJECTIVE: Some factors such as gender, age, craniofacial morphology, body structure, occlusal contact patterns may affect the maximum bite force. Thus, the purposes of this study were to determine the mean maximum bite force in individuals with normal ...

Bite-force difference among obese adolescents in central Taiwan
Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2016 Maximal bite force of the jaw can cause thorough food chewing and result in good digestion. Bite force is related to the health of the masticatory muscles.

From Chew Counts to Intake Amounts: An Evaluation of Acoustic Sensing in Browsing Goats [PDF]
SensorsHerbage intake by grazers and browsers is of fundamental importance to agricultural ecosystems worldwide but is also notoriously difficult to quantify. The intake process is mediated by herbage comminution in the mouth.

Inter‐relationships among body mass, jaw musculature and bite force in birds
Journal of Zoology, 2022 AbstractBite force can provide an insight into the feeding biomechanics and ecology of vertebrates. There has been an increasing interest in bite force in birds with data being collected using force transducers although bite forces have also been calculated from the mass of the jaw musculature.

Inter‐relationships among body mass, body dimensions, jaw musculature and bite force in reptiles
Journal of Zoology, 2022 AbstractBite force is important in understanding how feeding biomechanics impacts the life‐history of vertebrates. Bite force has been measured in many lizards and crocodilians but fewer turtles and snakes. Few comparative interspecific studies exist of the inter‐relationships between body size, jaw musculature and bite force.

Grass and Forage Science, 2009 AbstractThe effect of sward structure of four temperate grass species on the bite mass of cattle was evaluated. Micro‐swards (79 cm × 47 cm; approximately the area of a feeding station) of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.), quackgrass [Elymus repens (L.) Gould], meadow fescue [Schedonorus pratensis (Huds.)

The Japanese Journal of Physiology, 2005 To gain more insight into the mechanism of muscle plasticity in response to mechanical overload, we analyzed the effects of bite -opening (BO, 3 mm increase in the vertical dimension for 2 weeks) and/or a calcineurin (CaN) inhibitor, cyclosporin A (CsA, 10 mg/kg body weight, once daily for 2 weeks, ip) treatment on the myosin heavy chain (MHC I, IIa ...

Mosquito Bite and Adnexal Mass: The Unusual Diagnosis of Ovarian Filariasis [PDF]
Cureus, 2021 Lymphatic filariasis is a major health problem in tropical regions especially in India. A large number of patients tend to be asymptomatic. Ovarian filariasis is an extremely rare manifestation of lymphatic filariasis. This is a case report of bilateral ovarian filariasis presenting as ovarian mass with associated lower abdominal pain, weight loss and ...
