Feed intake data were collected every 6 h in a 140-d feeding trial involving two pens of 15 bull calves, each using one Pinpointer single-animal feeding stall per pen. Spectral analysis of these data revealed strong cyclic patterns of feed intake. These patterns were unique to each animal and consisted of two or more cycle lengths, some up to 28 d, for each animal. Feed intake behavior is an im...

A brief overview is presented of the key steps involved in designing a research animal experiment, with reference to resources that specifically address each topic of discussion in more detail. After an idea for a research project is conceived, a thorough review of the literature and consultation with experts in that field are pursued to refine the problem statement and to assimilate background...

Studies in Cucinogenesis. V. Methyl Derivatives of 1 : 2-Benzanthracene, M. J. SHEAR. In a further contribution to his series of studies on carcinogenesis Shear records his experiments with the methyl derivatives of 1 : 2-benzanthracene and related compounds. Of 21 compounds examined 10 produced tumors in mice a t the injection site. The more potent carcinogenic compounds were 5 : 10-dimethyl-1...
