Regulation of forage intake
DR Mertens - Forage quality, evaluation, and utilization, 1994 - Wiley Online Library
This chapter reviews the mechanisms of intake regulation, presents integrated models of
intake concepts that include both animal and dietary factors, and discusses variation in …

The cognitive foundations of cultural stability and diversity
The existence and diversity of human cultures are made possible by our species-specific
cognitive capacities. But how? Do cultures emerge and diverge as a result of the …

Physical constraints on voluntary intake of forages by ruminants
Voluntary dry matter intake (VDMI) of forages by ruminants may be limited by distention
resulting from restricted flow of digesta through the gastrointestinal tract. An animal's …

[ספר][B] Voluntary food intake and diet selection in farm animals
JM Forbes - 2007 - books.google.com
The feeding of farm animals directly effects their growth, health, reproduction and ultimately
their economic value and is consequently one of the most studied areas of animal science …

Predator functional responses: discriminating between handling and digesting prey
We present a handy mechanistic functional response model that realistically incorporates
handling (ie, attacking and eating) and digesting prey. We briefly review current functional …

Potential for reduced methane and carbon dioxide emissions from livestock and pasture management in the tropics
We estimate the potential reductions in methane and carbon dioxide emissions from several
livestock and pasture management options in the mixed and rangeland-based production …

Modelling the nutritional ecology of ungulate herbivores: evolution of body size and competitive interactions
A simulation model is used to quantify relationships between diet quality, digestive
processes and body weight in ungulate herbivores. Retention time of food in the digestive …

Ungulate foraging strategies: energy maximizing or time minimizing?
Summary 1 Many classical models of ungulate foraging are premised on energy
maximization, yet limited empirical evidence and untested currency assumptions make the …
