Patterns of infant feeding, basal prolactin concentrations, and ovarian activity were studied longitudinally in 27 breast-feeding mothers from delivery until first ovulation. Suckling frequency (6.1 feeds/day) and suckling duration (122 mins/day) reached peak values four weeks post partum and remained relatively constant until the introduction of supplementary food at a mean of 16 weeks post pa...

Behavior of killer whales feeding on herring schools was recorded with a high frequency (455 kHz) sonar and recorded on a SVHS tape. Synchronization of surfacing behavior of killer whales was analyzed from 8 mm videotapes recorded between 1990–92. Two different feeding techniques, carousel feeding, where killer whales cooperatively herd herring schools into a tight ball towards the surface and ...

To implement precision feeding for dairy cow, an intelligent multiconcentrates feeding system was developed. The system consists of two parts, one is precision ingredients control subsystem, the other is multi-concentrates discharge subsystem. The former controls the latter with 4 stepper motors. The precision ingredients control subsystem was designed based on Samsung S3C2440 ARM9 microprocess...
