Feeding Behaviour of Farm Animals

This book describes the feeding behavior of both herbivorous and omnivorous farm animals and highlights the similarities and differences between species. It differs from previous books dealing with feed intake by focusing on the behavioral processes involved in an individual animal seeking, recognizing, selecting and ingesting food rather than simply the amount of food eaten. The chapters are sequenced in such a manner that the reader is guided through these processes before examining the prediction of ingestive behavior and the application of our present knowledge to animal management.Hinch, G. N. is the author of 'Feeding Behaviour of Farm Animals' with ISBN 9780851994109 and ISBN 0851994105.
