The objective of this study was to investigate whether increased dietary water content and feeding frequency increased voluntary physical activity of young, lean adult female cats. A replicated 4 × 4 Latin square design with a 2 × 2 factorial treatment arrangement (feeding frequency and water content) was used. The 4 treatments consisted of 1 meal daily dry pet food without added water (1D; 12%...

Forty-eight crossbred weaner pigs divided into three groups of sixteen pigs each were used to assess the effect of feeding frequency on the performance and nutrient digestibility. The same type and quantity of feed was rationed once, twice and thrice daily. Performance of pigs fed twice daily was better than those fed once per day. Digestibility of dry matter, crude protein and crude fibre incr...

–Feeding practices play a pivotal role in determining optimal development of infants. Poor breast feeding and infant feeding practices have adverse consequences for the health and nutritional status of children, which in turn has consequences on the mental and physical development of the child. A population based cross-sectional sample survey covering lactating mothers with a history of at leas...

background: prelacteal feeding is an underestimated problem in a developing country like india, where infant mortality rate is quite high. the present study tried to find out the factors determining prelacteal feeding in rural areas of north india. methods: a crosssectional study was conducted among recently delivered women of rural uttar pradesh, india. multistage random sampling was used for ...

OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to assess complementary feeding practices and identify the potential risk factors associated with inappropriate complementary feeding in Indonesia for a nationally representative sample of births from 2004 to 2007. DESIGN The data source for the analysis was the 2007 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey. Multiple logistic regression was performed to analys...

four ruminally-cannulated holstein cows were used in a 4 × 4 latin square changeover design within periods of 21 days to evaluate effects of feeding frequency of different sources of rumen degradable nitrogen on total tract digestibility of nutrients, feeding behaviors, rumen and blood metabolites of holstein cows. treatments were: 1) control diet which was as total mixed ration (tmr) offered o...

BACKGROUND Malnutrition in infants during weaning has been attributed to inappropriate complementary feeding practices and it underlies more than one-third of child mortality in Nigeria. Thus, addressing the influence of complementary feeding practice on nutritional status may be an important approach to reducing the burden of child malnutrition. This cross-sectional study investigated the asso...

Daily food intake and corresponding feeding activity (measured as duration) and feeding efficiency (amount of food ingested per unit of feeding activity) were measured both in normal Sprague-Dawley and Buffalo rats and during growth of Walker 256 and 4M mammary carcinomas in Sprague-Dawley rats and of Morris 5123 hepatoma in Buffalo rats. Estimates of meal size and frequency were also obtained....
