Simulations of precision feeding (PF) in which gestating sows were individually fed a daily mixture two diets with different amino acid contents indicated reduction protein intake, feed costs, and environmental losses compared to conventional single diet (CF). These results have not been verified on farm. Thus, the objective present study was compare effect this PF strategy productive reproduct...

Although data are scarce, it is clear that grouping strategy can have a significant impact on the feeding behavior and feed intake of dairy cattle. Feed intake is controlled by ruminoreticular fill and physiological mechanisms, but grouping is a component of the cow’s feeding environment that can modulate intake as a result of its impact on cow comfort, competition for feed and other resources,...

 Co-feeding of fish larvae with live food and formulated diet has been at the focus of fish nutritionists since last decade. In this study we tried to refine the feeding practices of great beluga sturgeon (Huso huso) larvae using different combinations of newly hatched Artemia urmiana nauplii and trout starter diet. Three replicate groups (250 fish/replicate) of first-feeding Huso huso ...

OF THE THESIS Diurnal Evidence of a Nocturnal Feeder: Using Feeding Traces to Understand Aye-Ayes’ Feeding Strategy in Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar by Timothy Mikhail Sefczek Master of Arts in Anthropology San Diego State University, 2009 This thesis explores the feeding strategy of aye-ayes (Daubentonia madagascariensis) before and during the pronounced fruiting season of Canarium sp. ...

Aplysia feeding behavior is highly variable from cycle to cycle. In some cycles, when the variability causes a mismatch between the animal's movements and the requirements of the feeding task, the variability makes the behavior unsuccessful. We propose that the behavior is variable nevertheless because the variability serves a higher-order functional purpose. When the animal is faced with a new...
