Initial experiments with an electronic feeding station for ewes

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica, Section A — Animal Science, 2014
AbstractThrough four different experiments we investigated the effect of design of an electronic feeding station (EFS) and management factors on the behaviour of ewes. Eighty-nine percent of the ewes had completed their first visit to the EFS within the first six hours, but a major proportion of all rewarded visits were interrupted by displacements ...

Operant Performance at a Feeding Station in Rural Pennsylvania

The Psychological Record, 1982
Frequencies of operant responses for food, feeding bouts, and pecks at a food hopper were recorded in three successive winters at a rural feeding station for a mixed-species flock of wild passerine birds. Only one species in each winter performed the operant response, while nine other species did not work for the food they took, and thus benefited from

Feeding station behavior of free-grazing sheep

Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 1989
A study was conducted in the Middle Atlas Region, Morocco, to investigate the feeding station (FS) behavior of free-grazing sheep during November 1986 and April, June and September 1987. Behaviors observed and recorded were number of FS min−1, time elapsed per FS (T/FS), bites/FS and dry matter intake per FS (DMI/FS). The number of FS min−1 was highest

Investigations on feed intake and social behaviour of fattening pigs fed at an electronic feeding station

Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2012
Abstract For the study from a total of 679 female pigs kept in a progeny test station in 64 groups mostly with 12 pigs each, the data from all visits at an electronic feeding station (EFS) were analysed. In 93 pigs (8 groups) all agonistic interactions at the EFS were recorded in continuous observations using infrared video technique during 3× 48h at ...

The IVOG^® feeding station: a tool for monitoring the individual feed intake of group‐housed weanling pigs

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, 2001
Three batches of weanling pigs (total n=310 pigs) were used in a 34‐day experiment to validate the use of an IVOG® feeding station as a tool for monitoring individual feed intake of group‐housed weanling pigs. An IVOG® feeding station for weanling pigs consists of a single‐space dry feeder placed on a load cell in combination with electronic ...

Design and Construction of Power Station Feed Heaters

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, 1960
The paper presents a survey of a number of aspects of the design and construction of feed heaters for present-day steam-turbine cycles. Many papers have been published in recent years which cover a variety of the detail factors which can enter into the design of a feed heater (for example, the design of tube plates).

[Feeding of the crew of the Saliut-7 orbital station].

Kosmicheskaia biologiia i aviakosmicheskaia meditsina, 1990
This paper presents physiological and hygienic evaluations of the food supply of Salyut-7 crews in normal conditions, simulation and actual flights of various duration (211, 150, 237, 165 and 126 days). The examinations have shown that the diets used have provided satisfactory health conditions and good nutritional status of the crewmembers.
