The Relationship between Residual Feed Intake, Dry Matter Intake, and Reproductive Performance in Holstein Dairy Cows
… the feed consumed, measured here as dry matter intake (DMI), would therefore be advantageous to producers. However, this decrease could result in cows that do not supply the necessary energy to maintain high production, growth, and reproduction. Measures of feed efficiency try to capture …

Factors influencing cow performance and intake
ABSTRACT FACTORS INFLUENCING COW PERFORMANCE AND INTAKE Two studies were conducted to determine how weaning system, residual feed intake (RFI), and residual average daily gain (RADG) affect cow performance and intake. In Study 1, a two-year study was conducted using Angus and Simmental X Angus …

Food intake in birds: hypothalamic mechanisms
… the physiological regulation of food intake is important for improving nutrient utilization efficiency in agricultural species and for understanding and treating eating disorders. Knowledge about appetite in birds has agricultural and biomedical relevance and provides evolutionary …

Nutrient intake of elderly hospital patients
A three-day food intake was recorded for 100 elderly patients who were subsequently interviewed to determine the relationship of income level, educational level completed, and sex of the person with the nutrient intakes of these patients. Three-day caloric and nutrient intakes were recorded and …

Restriction of Food Intake by Dorsomedial Hypothalamus
… ob/ob mice eat voraciously and their food intake is markedly reduced by leptin treatment. Leptin acts in part by regulating the activity of AGRP neurons and POMC neurons in the arcuate nucleus and neurons in other brain regions. In these dissertation, I will describe how we identify novel …
