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

open access: yesAnimals, 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.

Behaviour influences cholesterol plasma levels in a pig model

open access: yesAnimal, 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.

Increasing weaning age of piglets from 4 to 7 weeks reduces stress, increases post-weaning feed intake but does not improve intestinal functionality [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
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]

open access: yesBIO 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 ...

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

open access: yesAnimals, 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 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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Performance and diarrhoea in piglets following weaning at seven weeks of age: Challenge with E. coli O 149 and effect of dietary factors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
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

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science
: 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

open access: yesThe Journal of Poultry Science, 2001
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
