How the foraging decisions of a small ruminant are influenced by past feeding experiences with low-quality food
(Elsevier Science, 2016-05)
Feeding experiences with low-quality foods can be improved when these foods are ingested in close temporal association with foods of higher nutritional quality. However, preference for low-quality foods in nature seems to ...
Expression of conditioned preference for low-quality food in sheep is modulated by foraging cost
(Cambridge University Press, 2015-06)
Past positive experiences can increase herbivores’ motivation to eat low-quality foods. However, this is not always translated into a higher preference for low-quality foods in choice tests among foods of higher nutritional ...
Supplementation based on protein or energy ingredients to beef cattle consuming low-quality cool-season forages: I. Forage disappearance parameters in rumen-fistulated steers and physiological responses in pregnant heifers
(Amer Soc Animal Science, 2014-06-01)
Two experiments evaluated the influence of supplement composition on ruminal forage disappearance, performance, and physiological responses of Angus x Hereford cattle consuming a low-quality cool-season forage (8.7% CP and ...
Nectar source profitability influences individual foraging preferences for pollen and pollen-foraging activity of honeybee colonies
(Springer, 2019-03)
Abstract: Most foraging honeybees specialize in either pollen or nectar collection, although some do alternate between both resources. Little is known about this behavioral plasticity and the factors that control it. We ...
