Feeding Behavior of Self-Fed Lambs
The effects of varying diets and slotted floor space allowances upon feeder usage among groups of five self-fed lambs were examined during a 44-day trial. Pen size (.595 or .334 sq m per lamb) did not influence animal gain, feed intake, waste feed associated with the feeder, side(s) (right and/or …

Feeding behavior and metabolism of transition dairy cows supplemented with monensin
… determine if monensin modulates transition cow feeding behavior, ruminal pH, and/or expression of key metabolic genes. Overall, monensin decreased time between meals prepartum (126 vs. 143 ± 5.0 min; P < 0.03) with a trend appearing postpartum (81.4 vs. 88.8 ± 2.9 min; P < 0.08), which could be …

SIK-mediated regulation of feeding behavior and fat metabolism in Caenorhabditis elegans
… In addition, kin-29 has been shown to regulate feeding behavior, with kin-29 mutants exhibiting hyperforaging in the presence of food. To investigate how KIN-29 couples the perception of nutrient availability to the regulation of peripheral fat stores; kin-29 mutant animals were fed high, …

The Role of Lateral Hypothalamic Neuropeptides in Drug Addiction and Feeding Behavior
A major goal of both feeding and drug abuse research is to understand the neural and molecular mechanisms that control intake and how dysfunction of these systems can lead to excessive food ingestion or addiction. Numerous studies have found synergistic effects of drugs of abuse and metabolism on …

The effects of prior exposure to amphetamine on feeding behavior in rats
… on subsequent stress-induced and free feeding of regular chow or palatable cereal. After treatment with 5 injections of either d-amphetamine (3 mg/kg IP) or saline, administered on alternate days, animals in Experiments 1 and 3 were permanently moved to computer-controlled test cages, …

The ontogeny of feeding behavior of Nicaraguan mantled howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata)
… two groups of mantled howler monkeys—collecting behavioral data on juveniles, adult females, and adult males—and I quantified the toughness of the leaves they consumed. Results indicate that juveniles were less efficient foragers than adults: juveniles spent more time foraging relative to the …

The Effectiveness of Two Interventions on Reducing Deer Feeding Behavior by Park Visitors
… (fear and moral appeals) designed to reduce the feeding of deer by visitors in Shenandoah National Park by measuring changes in visitor attitudes and behavior. The study was conducted from July - September 1999 in a campground and picnic area, by placing the interventions (a small sign) on all …

Diet and Feeding Behavior of Juvenile Alligator Snapping Turtles (Macrochelys Temminckii) in Eastern Oklahoma
… on other aquatic turtles is not known and feeding behavior of juvenile M. temminckii is not understood. The following studies were conducted to 1) compare the diet of captive-reared juvenile M. temminckii to that of wild juveniles and investigate the diet overlap of juvenile M. temminckii …

Evaluating metabolic rate, survival, feeding behavior and energetic demand in two genotypes of Apis mellifera
… processes play a pivotal role in shaping behavior and physiology, particularly in organisms whose energetic demands are closely linked to their performance in nature. In social insects like honeybees, variation in metabolic rate and energy intake can influence individual performance, …

The importance of bluegill feeding behavior within an automated biological monitoring system for industrial wastes
… to provide a means of long term automated feeding. An approximate maintenance ration level was determined (0.5% body wt). The response to food was a flurry of activity at the time of feeding, but this did not significantly alter the overall decline in activity. Feeding did increase the …

A Comparison of Olfactory Organ Development and Feeding Behavior in Larval Fathead Minnows, Pimephales promelas Rafinesque
… olfaction and gustation, are important for early behavior development in fathead minnows and the ability of larvae to survive after hatching. Chemoreception is used in the location of food, avoidance of predators, and for intraspecific communication. Furthermore, some studies have shown the …

Effect of Social Rank on Pig Performance and Feeding Behavior With Conventional and Electronic Feed Intake Recording Equipment
… a rank to pigs based on specific agonistic behaviors and did not determine the effect of rank on feed intake, growth performance, and feeding behavior. This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of rank for pigs based on wins using two types of single-spaced feeders (conventional …

Modulation of Intraoral Subambient Pressure and Feeding Behavior Relative to Prey Type in the Largemouth Bass, Micropterus Salmoides Floridanus
<p>Variation, or modulation, of suction feeding performance across two prey location treatments, as measured by peak subambient pressure generation, was studied in the Florida largemouth bass, <em>Micropterus salmoides floridanus. </em>Previous studies of suction feeding in centrarchids have …

Feeding Behavior, Food Consumption, Growth, and Survival of Hybrid Grass Carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis x Ctenopharyngodon idella) In South Dakota
… impoundments in south-central South Dakota. IN feeding trials, conducted in a 0.07 ha hatchery pond, hybrid grass carp selected Najas guadalupensis, Chara sp. and Potamogeton pectinuatus. Ceratophyllum demersum and Myriophyllum spicatum were not consumed. Under field conditions N. guadalupensis …

Impacts of the invasive Brook Stickleback (Culaea inconstans) on wandering garter snake (Thamnophis elegans vagrans) fitness, feeding behavior and diet
… Wash.), we analyzed the morphometrics, fitness, feeding behavior, and diet of wandering garter snakes from three study sites: invaded, historically invaded (recent but not present invasion) and uninvaded. We used mass and snout-vent length (SVL) measurements to infer fitness using a scaled mass …
