The effect of feeding frequency and alternative proteins in milk replacer on growing Holstein calves
… but some recent research has indicated that feeding three times daily might increase efficiency of calf’s nutrient use. Feeding three times daily might be even more beneficial for MR containing alternate proteins such as bovine plasma and wheat. Therefore, the objective of this experiment was …

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 …

The Effects of Stocking Density and Feeding Frequency on Aggressive and Cannibalistic Behaviors in Larval Hatchery-Reared Spotted Seatrout, <i>Cynosion nebulosus</i>
… manipulation of stocking density as well as feeding frequency might be used to reduce aggression and cannibalism. The goal of this study was to determine the effects of stocking density and feeding frequency on aggressive and cannibalistic behaviors in larval hatchery-reared Spotted Seatrout …

Effects of restricted feeding schedule during development and gestation on gilt and sow performance
… these experiments was to develop management and feeding programs to increase sow longevity and productivity by improving welfare conditions. In Exp. 1, 208 gestating sows and 288 gestating gilts were utilized to determine the effect of feeding frequency (2 vs. 6) on performance and welfare …

Measuring insulin sensitivity and the effect of alternative dietary interventions and exercise on metabolic control
… was shown to improve insulin sensitivity. Feeding frequency was found to alter insulin and ghrelin responses and relationships following mixed-meal ingestion. And finally, postprandial lipaemia was found to be attenuated for up to 24 hours following moderate-intensity exercise, illustrating …

Ecological Distinctions in Diet, Food Toughness, and Masticatory Anatomy in a Community of Six Neotropical Primates in Guyana, South America
… the use of average toughness, maximum toughness, feeding frequency, and seasonal use of plant tissues in constructing dietary profiles offers a comprehensive framework for identifying the suite of ecological variables that impact the craniodental morphology of primates.

Infant feeding practices and nutrient intake: a survey of ten- to fourteen-month-old infants in Richmond, Virginia
A study of infant feeding practices and nutrient intake was conducted among 31 infants 10 to 14 months of age in Richmond, Virginia. Data was collected by reviewing the infants' medical records and from an interview schedule, a self-administered questionnaire, and two 24-hour dietary records. The …

Recovering biomethane from fats, oils, and greases: Examining the impacts of microbial ecology on anaerobic codigester stability and bioconversion kinetics
… Subsequently, the impacts of LCFA feeding strategy on LCFA bioconversion kinetics were investigated using bench-scale codigesters that were either pulse-fed every two days or continuously-fed daily with oleate. The results showed that Bacteria and Archaea community compositions in …

A farm-based prospective study for equine colic risk factors and risk associated events
… colic, OR=3.6(1.9-6.8); changes in concentrate feeding during the year, OR=3.6(1.6-5.4); more than one change in hay feeding during the year, OR=2.1(1.2-3.8); feeding high levels of concentrate (>2.5 kg/day dry matter, OR=4.8(1.4-16), >5 kg/day dry matter, OR=6.3(1.8-22)); and vaccination with …

The Development of Spring-Actuated Mechanisms in Mantis Shrimp (Stomatopoda) and Snapping Shrimp (Alpheidae)
… they transition into the pelagic zone and begin feeding on plankton. Mathematical and physical models of LaMSA kinematics suggest that smaller mechanisms generate greater accelerations. Therefore, I hypothesized that larval mantis shrimp would accelerate their strikes faster than adult mantis …

Foraging ecology and parental care of common terns (Sterna hirundo) nesting in Windermere Basin, Lake Ontario
The relationships among chick feeding, size and type of prey item, and foraging time away from the brood have not been well studied in seabirds. This study investigated spatial and temporal patterns of foraging and chick-provisioning among 23 radio-tagged male common terns nesting at Hamilton …

The foraging ecology of the short-tailed shearwater puffinus tenuirostris.
… chicks and the likely energy flow from alternate feeding regimes. Under regimes of all ST or all LT, energy flow to chicks could not meet chick energy requirements. This highlights that LT of more than seven days duration are required to accumulate stomach oil. Oil boosts the energy value of meals …
