Understanding Beef Quality Development and Different Feeding Regimes
… Beef Quality Development and Different Feeding Regimes Jordan Christie Wicks ABSTRACT Consumption of beef is expected to increase as the world approaches nearly 9 billion inhabitants by the year 2050, adding unprecedented challenges to the future beef industry. Even so, maintaining …

The use of ULVA as a feed supplement in the development of an artificial diet and feeding regimes to produce export quality roe from the sea urchin Tripneustes gratilla (Linnaeus)
… of Ulva into the artificial diets acts as a feeding stimulant.Increased palatability and consumption subsequently led to significantly increased protein retention in urchins fed the 20U diet. The addition of Ulva to artificial feeds also significantly improved gonad colouration duringgonad …

Effects of diet composition and length of feeding restriction on the locomotor rhythms of Mus musculus
… as a response to combinations of lighting and feeding cues were quantitatively assessed in this study. Time allowed for feeding was varied (3, 5, and 7 hours) to examine effect of different zeitgeber strengths on locomotor pattens. The effect of temporal light/dark cue removal on locomotor …

Overcoming the seasonal variations in fitness of the amphipod Corophium Volutator as an environmental toxicology test species using laboratory cultured specimens.
… were cultured separately under different feeding regimes with Tetraselmis chuii and Rhodomonas reticulate as food sources. Cultures were maintained at a salinity of 30-35 ppt, with a temperature of 15 °C ± 2, dissolved oxygen was maintained at greater-than-or-equal-to 80% saturation. …

Competition for anchovy (Engraulis capensis) and sardine (Sardinops sagax) between the Cape Gannet (Morus capensis), Cape fur seal (Arctocephalus pusillus pusillus) and the purse-seine fishery on the west coast of South Africa
… pelagic fishery indicated that there were three ""feeding regimes"" during the 21-year study period: (1978-1998), an anchovy-dominated regime (1978-1983), an intermediate regime (1984-1990) and a sardine-abundant regime (1991-1998). It further showed that anchovy (Engraulis capensis) and sardine …

Growth, carcass composition, and plasma growth hormone levels in cyclically fed rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss microform
… a phase of rapid growth following a period of feeding restriction, is investigated in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Underyearling rainbow trout were individually identified using coded tags and placed on either a cyclic feeding regime of 3 weeks of starvation followed by 3 weeks of …

Development of methodology for community level toxicity testing using the fathead minnow seven day survival-growth impairment test
… of environmental parameters, improvement of feeding regimes and testing of the final community. The results are presented as four separate papers. The first paper addresses the development and validation of a standardized reconstituted water for culturing and toxicity testing of algae, …

Mercury in water, porewaters, sediments and fish from the Medway Estuary, Southeast England
… the Medway Estuary, Kent, UK, and the impact of feeding regimes on mercury concentrations in the food web, as well as the importance of liver as a storage organ for mercury within fish. Surficial sediment mercury concentrations were typical of an industrialised estuary, ranging between 18-1302 µg …

Pretreatment and hydrolysis of recovered fibre for ethanol production
… was also developed. A study of hydrolysis feeding regimes for untreated recovered fibre (87 Kappa), pretreated recovered fibre (17 Kappa), and bleached pulp (6 Kappa) showed that the batch feeding regime offers reduced complexity and high sugar yields for lower Kappa substrates. In order to …

Resource allocation in chickens: genetic and nongenetic influences on development, growth and reproduction
… included restricted and <i>ad libitum</i> (AL) feeding regimes. Positive correlated responses to selection for body weight included proportionally larger breast, legs, fat depots and small intestine. Negative responses included fecundity, feather and gizzard weights. The degree of non-additive …

An analysis of lambing ewes three times in two years in Southland
… lamb production under each of the conception and feeding regimes studied. Feasibility of each system is dependant on average pasture cover remaining above the minimum required pasture cover (to achieve desire intakes) at all times. Results from feed profiling showed that the winter and early …

How do parents respond to changing ecological and social environments: insights from a coral reef fish with biparental care
… parental behaviors in A. percula under two feeding regimes in the laboratory. I demonstrated that clownfish exhibit plasticity in parental care, and that there is significant among individual variation, i.e., personality, in parenting strategies. Second, I tested how plasticity affects life …

Hydration of Colonic Ingesta and Feces in Horses Fed Large Grain Meals or Treated with Enteral Fluid Therapy, Saline Cathartics and Intravenous Fluid Therapy
… colostomy were alternately used to test three feeding regimes for 48 h: 1- hay free choice; 2- hay free choice plus 4.5 kg of sweet feed twice daily after a period of 5 days of adaptation; 3- sudden change from hay to hay plus sweet feed. Seven horses with the right dorsal colostomy were …

The effect of weather on sleep and the welfare of drills in captivity
… such as environmental enrichment and diverse feeding regimes, is well understood across most species in accredited wildlife facilities. However, less is known about the importance of night-time husbandry and in particular the effect of sleep quality on normative behaviour and stereotypies, or …

The role of body composition in the onset of lay of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)
… the influence of dietary protein and restricted feeding on body composition of Japanese quail at the onset of lay. The first experiment utilized five isocaloric diets containing either 26%, 24%, 20%, 16%, or 14% crude protein. Each diet was fed to three groups of quail: one group was fed <i>ad …

Energy metabolism in skeletal muscle: mechanistic insights into mitochondrial function and growth
… mitochondrial respiration. Interestingly, BAA feeding had more effect on control pig muscle compared to that of pigs harboring the AMPKγ3R200Q mutation. This further suggests BAA-induced muscle hypertrophy is not as effective on muscles with increased oxidative capacity. To expand our knowledge …

Influence of Feeding History on Metabolic Rates in Fishes: Evidence for Metabolic Compensation in Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides)
… Indeed, accuracy of BEM estimates varies with feeding rate of fishes and may be associated with error in measuring fish metabolism. Metabolic rate of fishes is a key parameter in energy budget formulations and can strongly influence accuracy of model predictions. In this study, I tested the …

Feeding ecology of franciscana dolphin, Pontoporia blainvillei (Cetacea:Pontoporiidae), and oceanographic processes on the Southern Brazilian coast
The feeding regime of the franciscana dolphin was investigated from stomach contents of incidentally caught animals in gillnets along the southern Brazilian coast, from 1994 to 2000. The analyses were based mainly on Linear and Generalised Linear Models (LM and GLM). There were some diet …
