Free‐feeding pattern of pygmy goats eating a pelleted diet

Abstract: The meal pattern of ad libitum fed pygmy goats was recorded and analyzed (12 h light/12 h dark). Pygmy goats, adapted to a complete pelleted diet, consumed 12 meals per day. Eight meals, corresponding to about 63 % of total daily food intake, occurred during the bright phase and 4 meals during the dark phase of the lighting cycle. Mean meal size was greater during the dark phase than during the bright phase. Meal size was positively correlated with the duration of the post‐meal interval during the dark phase a… Show more

“…Water was always available. The goats had to feed out of spill-resistant food containers which were fixed on scales (Langhans, Senn, Scharrer & Eggenberger, 1988). The actual weight of the food containers was checked each minute by a Hewlett-Packard personal computer (HP 85B).…”

“…Those opposed to the use and/or popular interpretation of the ratio have argued either that the correlation is very low and hence not particularly meaningful (Demaria-Pesce & Nicolaidis, 1998) or that it is in fact an artifact of the statistical analysis used (Castonguay, Kaiser, & Stern, 1986;Demaria-Pesce & Nicolaidis, 1998;Panksepp, 1973). On the other side of the argument, a significant correlation between meal size and postmeal interval has been reported in multiple labs and paradigms (Bernstein, 1976;Collier, Johnson, & Mitchell, 1999;Davies, 1977;de Castro, 1988a;Le Magnen, 1981, 1984a, 1984bRosenwasser, Boulos, & Terman, 1981;Thomas & Mayer, 1978) and in multiple species (Auffray & Marcilloux, 1983;de Castro, 1988b;Hansen, Jen, & Kalnasy, 1981;Langhans, Senn, Scharrer, & Eggenberger, 1988;Rashotte et al, 1984;Sanderson & Vanderweele, 1975;Savory, 1981). Further, the correlations in some instances have ranged as high as ϳ.7.…”
