twenty-four 35-day-old lambs were distributed to a completely randomized design with 3 treatments to study the effects of number of feeding buckets per pen on performance, haematology and behaviour indicators. treatments consisted of 8 (t1), 4 (t2) or 2 (t3) feeding buckets/pen (8 lambs/pen). during the experiment, concentrate was fed at 08:30 in individual feeders. daily dry matter intake (dmi...

food anticipatory activity (faa) was assessed in rainbow trout ( oncorhynchus mykiss ) in two small raceways using demand-feeding (t2) and hand-feeding (t2). the fish of both raceways were subjected to restricted feeding (rf) at two times in two places and the fish distribution and/or trigger actuation, total agonistic behaviour between fish, and swimming speed were measured. food anticipatory ...

As a monogastric herbivore, the rabbit presents a unique feeding behaviour compared to other domestic animals, since he belongs to the Lagomorpha order (Leporidae family: rabbits and hares, Grassé and Dekeuser, 1955), and consequently possess a main specificity that is the caecotrophy. For recall (see details in chapter 1), the caecotrophy is a complete behaviour involving an excretion and an i...
