Impact of Precision Feeding Strategies on Whole Farm Nutrient Balance and Feeding Management
Impact of precision feeding with feed management software was assessed for whole farm nutrient balance (WFNB) and feeding management from January through December 2006. Nine treatment and six control farms were selected in four regions of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed of Virginia. Herd sizes …

Impact of the mealtime environment and caregiver feeding strategies on picky eating behaviors in children
… including the mealtime environment and caregiver feeding strategies. Childhood represents a critical time to establish healthy eating behaviors, because proper nutrition is needed for optimal growth and development and eating habits formed during this time tend to persist into adulthood. However, …

The effect of tylosin exposure or exclusion on liver abscess prevalence, fecal pathogen populations, and the microflora of finished beef products from feedlot cattle
… As such, its potential removal from cattle feeding strategies could have a marked impact on both the economics of the beef industry and food safety. Additionally, little is known about the effect of tylosin exposure or exclusion on the microbiome of finished beef products. In light of these …

Effects of dietary macronutrient profile and feeding frequency on circulating metabolites, postprandial endocrine response, and voluntary physical activity of healthy adult cats
… a sedentary indoor lifestyle, and inappropriate feeding strategies largely contribute to obesity in cats. This dissertation focused on diet composition and feeding strategies to understand how dietary factors may affect appetite regulation, metabolism, and energy expenditure of cats and in the …

IN VITRO AND OMICS METHODOLOGIES APPLIED TO ANIMAL NUTRITION TO ADDRESS FEED-FOOD COMPETITION AND GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
… estimate the potential inclusion of alternative feeding strategies in the frame of the environmental sustainability of livestock production. We focused on two areas: i) the dietary inclusion of food by-products (e.g. former food products) in the diet of piglets and pigs to evaluate their impact …

Benthic meiofaunal and micro-eukaryotic inhabitation of extreme environments: Submerged caves and hydrocarbon seeps
… fungal taxa were detected, spanning a range of feeding strategies, with community composition differing both between caves and within a single system. Chapter 3 focuses on benthic foraminiferal communities in submerged cave systems using traditional morphological identification and metabarcoding …

Flamingo foraging activity as a driver of spatial heterogeneity in Langebaan Lagoon, South Africa
… determine the effects of two different flamingo feeding strategies (pit and channel foraging) on sediment penetrability and macrofaunal community structure in Langebaan Lagoon. The two foraging strategies appear only to differ with regards to prey removal and recolonisation. The more energy …

A preliminary investigation of the potential effects of the invasive Mozambique tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus on the native fish assemblages of Lake MacLeod, Western Australia
… that the two species are utilizing different feeding strategies; the former selecting items from the benthos and the latter straight from the water column. A. caudavittata had a higher mean !15N than O. mossambicus, but not high enough to imply they occupy different trophic levels. The mixing …

Optimizing Feeding Efficiency in Dairy Cows Using a Precision Feeding System
Current feeding strategies aim to maximize efficiency at the pen level. However, feed intake varies across animals and in response to diet composition, making it difficult to capture these variations and control feeding effectively. A precision feeding system is required to feed animals …
