A mealtime observation study; obesity, ethnicity and observed maternal feeding styles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The escalating trend of childhood obesity within genetically stable populations indicates that environmental, and therefore modifiable, factors must be contributing.

Plasticity of feeding behaviour traits in response to production environment (temperate vs. tropical) in group-housed growing pigs

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Heat stress affects pig metabolism, health and welfare, resulting in reduced growth and important economic losses. The present experiment aimed to evaluate the effects of two climatic environments [temperate (TEMP) vs.

Validation of automatic monitoring of feeding behaviours in sheep and goats.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
Monitoring the feeding and ruminating behaviour of ruminants can be used to assess their health and welfare. The MSR-jaw movement recording system (JAM-R) can automatically record the jaw movements of ruminants.

Feeding Behaviour, Swimming Activity and Boldness Explain Variation in Feed Intake and Growth of Sole (Solea Solea) Reared in Captivity [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

NIGHT FEEDING REGIME IMPROVES WATER QUALITY, GROWTH PERFORMANCE AND FEEDING BEHAVIOUR OF EUROPEAN EELS, Anguilla anguilla

open access: yesSlovenian Veterinary Research, 2019
This study was aimed to explore differences between day and night feeding of farmed European eels (Anguilla anguilla) on: (1) the growth and feeding behaviour of eels; and (2) the subsequent impact on the quality of the culture water.
