Thus, with simple feeding methods, it is possible to extend the feed intake time of stabled horses, thereby closer resembling horses' natural foraging time. The natural behaviour of horses is to spend the majority of their time on feed intake The feeding of stabled horses is, however, often...
The fecal microbiome of cattle plays a critical role not only in animal health and productivity but also in food safety, pathogen shedding, and the performance of fecal pollution detection methods. Unfortunately, most published molecular surveys fail to provide adequate detail about variability in the...
Suspension and Deposit Feeding Another form of small particulate food in aquatic habitats is the steady "rain" of organic matter that settles to the bottom: living and dead plankton and bits of dead animal, plant, and algal tissue. Suspension feeders pick this material from the water as it ...
Large differences between the sire line and the dam lines are expected for the last three traits as a result of the different methods of selection. The most important estimated differences between lines during the postweaning growth period (weaning at 28 d, and slaughter at 63 d) were: The ...
Methods Animals All animals involved in the study were raised at the rabbit facilities of the Institute of Agrifood Research and Technology (IRTA) in two different periods. The animals come from the Caldes line47that has been selected for post-weaning growth since 1983, and it is commonly use...
An in-depth analysis of microbial communities will be useful for controlling the bacterial community composition for both optimal water quality and optimal feeding of cultured animal, ultimately for animal's health. Traditionally, conventional microbiological techniques, such as cultivation methods, 16S ...

Additionally, there are various methods to evaluate feed efficiency, among which residual feed intake (RFI) is one of the most common measurements in cattle [2, 3]. The RFI is defined as the difference between the actual and predicted dry matter intake (DMI) for an animal. A low or ...
