Feed digestibility and productive performance of bullfrogs raised in cages and fed in different periods and high frequency
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-09-20)
Three feeding frequencies (24, 48 and 96 meals/day) and three feeding periods (daytime, nighttime and daytime/nighttime) were evaluated in this experiment. Bullfrogs (Litho bates catesbeianus), with average weight of 78.6 ...
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 ...
COMPARISON BETWEEN TWO FEEDING RATES AND THREE FEEDING FREQUENCIES FOR HYBRID SURUBIMS REARED IN CAGES
(Univ Fed Rural Semi-arido-ufersa, 2018-07-01)
This study evaluated the effects of feeding frequency and feeding rate on productive performance of hybrid surubims reared in cages with automatic feeding. Three feeding frequencies (6, 12 and 24 meals day(-1)), and two ...
Feeding behavior of growing and finishing pigs fed different dietary threonine levels in a group-phase feeding and individual precision feeding system
(Oxford Univ Press Inc, 2020-10-01)
Feeding behavior is an important aspect of pig husbandry as it can affect protein deposition (PD) in pigs. A decrease in plasma threonine (Thr) levels may influence feed intake (FI) due to amino acid imbalance. We set out ...
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 ...
Feeding rate for pacu reared in net cages
(2012-07-01)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the feeding management of pacu juveniles (P. mesopotamicus) under different feeding rates and its relation with productive performance, body composition and hematological ...
Surface electromyography of facial muscles during natural and artificial feeding of infants
(2006-03-01)
Objective: To measure and compare the activity of the masseter, temporalis and buccinator muscles in different infant feeding methods. Method: Cross-sectional study of 60 full-term infants with no intercurrent diseases, ...
Feeding level and frequency for freshwater angelfish
(Sociedade Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2012-06-01)
The objective of this study was to determine the optimal feeding level and feeding frequency for the culture of freshwater angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare). A randomized block design in a factorial scheme (3 × 2) with three ...
Automatic feeders for Nile tilapia raised in cages: productive performance at high feeding frequencies and different rates
(Arquivo Brasileiro Medicina Veterinaria Zootecnia, 2016-05-01)
The main goal of modern intensive fish farms should be to increase productivity at a low cost. The automation of fish feeding plays an important role in this scenario since it may improve feed efficiency and reduce organic ...
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 ...
