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

Behaviour influences cholesterol plasma levels in a pig model
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.

Increasing weaning age of piglets from 4 to 7 weeks reduces stress, increases post-weaning feed intake but does not improve intestinal functionality [PDF]
This study tested the hypothesis that late weaning and the availability of creep feed during the suckling period compared with early weaning, improves feed intake, decreases stress and improves the integrity of the intestinal tract.

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]
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 ...

Performance and diarrhoea in piglets following weaning at seven weeks of age: Challenge with E. coli O 149 and effect of dietary factors [PDF]
Four dietary factors (ad libitum versus feed restriction, control versus protein restriction at ad libitum feeding, control versus inclusion of lupine as a protein source at ad libitum feeding, and control versus extra vitamin E at ad libitum feeding ...

Feed efficiency and surplus feed intake among Norwegian Red dairy cows
: Feed in livestock production is a major cost driver and closely linked to GHG emissions from the sector. Hence, there is a great deal of interest to improve feed efficiency of livestock and promote economic and environmental sustainability of livestock

Short-Term Feeding Response in Chicks to Tea Saponin
Tea saponin is known to suppress chick growth rate by decreasing feed intake, although the mechanism by which tea saponin decreases feed intake remains obscure. Since tea saponin has bitter taste, palatability was suggested to be a major factor affecting
