Feeding behavior of growing-finishing pigs reared under precision feeding strategies
(Amer Soc Animal Science, 2016-07-01)
The feeding behavior of growing-finishing pigs reared under precision feeding strategies was studied in 35 barrows and 35 females (average initial BW of 30.4 +/- 2.2 kg) over 84 d. Five different feeding programs were ...
Spatial and temporal patterns in the feeding behavior of a fiddler crab
(Springer, 2013-04)
Fiddler crabs consume the surficial microphytobenthos around their burrows during low tide. We studied the spatial and temporal feeding patterns in the species Uca uruguayensis by using sequences of digital pictures of ...
Substrate Feeding Strategy Integrated with a Biomass Bayesian Estimator for a Biotechnological Process
(De Gruyter, 2016-12)
This work proposes a substrate feeding strategy for a bioprocess integrated with a biomass estimator based in nonlinear filtering techniques. The performance of the proposed estimator and the substrate strategy are illustrated ...
Short-term cycles of feed deprivation and refeeding promote full compensatory growth in the Amazon fish matrinxa (Brycon amazonicus)
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-09-20)
Developing nutritional strategies that can reduce production costs for the fish industry without affecting productive performance is paramount to make the activity sustainable. We investigated if short-term cycles of feed ...
Feeding strategy with alternate fasting and refeeding: effects on farmed pacu production
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-04-01)
P>A 36-day trial was conducted to determine the effects of repetitive periods of food restriction and refeeding on growth and energy metabolism in pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus). A total 264 juvenile fish (36.9 +/- 2.8 g) ...
Prandial correlations and structure of the ingestive behavior of pigs in precision feeding programs
(2021-10-01)
The feeding behavior of growing-finishing pigs was analyzed to study prandial correlations and the probability of starting a new feeding event. The data were collected in real-time based on 157,632 visits by a group of 70 ...
Estratégia alimentar com ciclos de restrição e realimentação no desempenho produtivo de juvenis de tilápia do Nilo da linhagem GIFT
(2010-02-01)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of compensatory answer on productive performance of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus juveniles, GIFT line, submitted to different feeding strategies. It was used ...
A comparative analysis of host feeding and life-history traits in parasitoid wasps
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-05)
Feeding in insect parasitoids can have significant implications from behavioral and evolutionary ecology standpoints. Females of many species not only search for hosts to lay their eggs on, but also may use them as a food ...
Feeding strategy of the non-native rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, in low-order Patagonian streams
(Wiley, 2013-05-03)
The dietary composition and feeding strategy of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum), in two low-order Patagonian streams were studied. Benthic macroinvertebrate availability was estimated in both riffles and pools. ...
