Recording strategies and selection potential of feed intake measured using the X-ray method in rainbow trout

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2006
This study examines the way long-term feed intake should be recorded accurately for selective breeding purposes, and estimates selection potential in feed intake using the X-ray method to record individual daily feed intake in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus

Feeding behaviour, swimming activity and boldness explain variation in feed intake and growth of sole (Solea solea) reared in captivity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
The major economic constraint for culturing sole (Solea solea) is its slow and variable growth. The objective was to study the relationship between feed intake/efficiency, growth, and (non-) feeding behaviour of sole.

Genome-wide association analysis of feed intake and residual feed intake in Nellore cattle [PDF]

BMC Genetics, 2014
Feed intake plays an important economic role in beef cattle, and is related with feed efficiency, weight gain and carcass traits. However, the phenotypes collected for dry matter intake and feed efficiency are scarce when compared with other measures such as weight gain and carcass traits.

Feed intake assessment on sub-adult spiny lobster Panulirus homarus fed a range of pellet and fresh feeds under a variety of feeding regimes [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Low feed intake has been considered a major problem in applying formulated feed for grow-out of spiny lobster (Panulirus homarus). This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of fishery hydrolysate in feed formulation and the co-feeding of ...

Behaviour influences cholesterol plasma levels in a pig model

Animal, 2007
Little is known about the relationship between feed intake behaviour and cholesterol levels in humans. This can be attributed to the fact that feed intake behaviour in humans is difficult to assess.

Common Feeding Practices Pose A Risk to the Welfare of Horses When Kept on Non-Edible Bedding

Animals, 2020
During the evolution of the horse, an extended period of feed intake, spread over the entire 24-h period, determined the horses’ behaviour and physiology.

Inter- and Intra-Individual Variation in the Behavior of Feed Intake on Nutrient Availability in Early Lactating Dairy Cows

Animals, 2021
Since energetic deficits in dairy cows can only be reduced at an animal level, the objective of the present study was to determine the extent of variation in intake behavior within and between animals during early lactation, to explore the magnitude of ...

Feed efficiency estimation from stochastic feed requirement frontier

Journal of Dairy Science
: Feed accounts for 40% to 70% of livestock production cost. Therefore, improving feed efficiency of production animals will promote farm profitability. To this end, precise estimation of animal level feed efficiency is important.

Feed conversion ratio, residual feed intake and cholecystokinin type A receptor gene polymorphisms are associated with feed intake and average daily gain in a Chinese local chicken population

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2018
Background The feed conversion ratio (FCR) and residual feed intake (RFI) are common indexes in measuring feed efficiency for livestock. RFI is a feed intake adjusted for requirements for maintenance and production so these two traits are related ...
