the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of feeding of  steeped barley grain with lactic acid (la) and citric acid (ca) on dry matter intake, feeding behavior, apparent nutrients digestibility, rumen ph and milk production. eight early lactating holstein cows in the second parities were used in 4×4 latin square change- over design. treatments  consisted of basis diet containing 1) dr...

the role of the ventromedial nuclei of the hypothalamus (vmn) in food behavior was studied in adult male rats, allocated in 3 groups: control, sham and lesioned. electrolytic lesions were induced stereotaxically (1.2 ma, 15 sec). results revealed a significant decrease (p

background: breast feeding is subject to social and cultural conditions  of societies.basnef model considered as one of the comprehensive models of behavior study, especially in developing countries. this study was performed to investigate the status of breast feeding during the first two years of infants’ life and its risk factors through basnef model structures. methods: in this cross-section...

Feeding is the set of behaviors whereby organisms acquire and process the energy required for survival and reproduction. Thus, feeding system morphology is presumably subject to selection to maintain or improve feeding performance. Relationships among feeding system morphology, feeding behavior, and diet not only explain the morphological diversity of extant primates, but can also be used to re...

The role of the ventromedial nuclei of the hypothalamus (VMN) in food behavior was studied in adult male rats, allocated in 3 groups: control, sham and lesioned. Electrolytic lesions were induced stereotaxically (1.2 mA, 15 sec). Results revealed a significant decrease (p<O.05) in body weight (BW) and food intake (FI) in the order of lesioned <sham <control during the fIrst week. However, ...

This study aimed to determine the effects of chitosan, whole raw soybeans or their interaction on feeding behavior and heat losses through thermography assay of Jersey heifers fed high concentrate diets. Twelve Jersey heifers (age of 6±0.5 months and 139.50±25.56 kg of live weight, mean±SD) were randomly assigned to a replicated latin square design with 2 × 2 factorial treatment arrangement. Th...
