Ставилась задача исследовать влияние типа корма на пищевое поведение молоди ленского осетра, оценить поведение особей в фазе ближнего поиска и обнаружения пищевого объекта. Исследования проводили методом периодов на одной группе рыб, 5 экземпляров. Было установлено, что пищевой поиск нового типа корма исследуемые особи прошли успешно: пищевой объект удерживался рыбой после первого схватывания. К концу опытов при кормлении рыбы гидролизатом продолжительность латентного времени питания снижалась, что свидетельствует о процессах привыкания к новому типу корма. При кормлении гидролизатом за три дня эксперимента латентное время питания сократилось на 13 пунктов. При кормлении же комбикормом продолжительность латентного времени питания, наоборот, увеличилась в 2,2 раза. Время, проведённое на кормовом пятне молодью ленского осетра контрольной и опытной групп, также было различным. Частички комбикорма рыбы съедали быстрее, чем гидролизат. В целом по эксперименту наибольшее влияние фактор тип корма оказывает на скорость питания (5,86). Рацион питания практически не зависит от типа корма.The task was to investigate the influence of the type of feed on the feeding behavior of juvenile Lena sturgeon, to evaluate the behavior of individuals in the phase of short-range search and detection of a prey. The researches were conducted by the method of periods on one group of fish with 5 specimens. It was found that the food search for a new type of food was successful in individuals under investigation: the food object was held by fish after the first grasping. By the end of the experiments when feeding a fish with a condensed fish solubles the duration of latency feeding time has decreased which indicates the processes of getting used to the new type of food. When fed with a condensed fish solubles for three days of the experiment the latency feeding time was reduced by 13 points. When feeding with complete feed the duration of latent feeding time on the contrary has increased in 2.2 times. The time spent on the fodder spot by the juvenile Lena sturgeon of the control and experimental groups was also different. Particles of fish feed were eaten faster than the condensed fish solubles. On the whole of the experiment the feed type factor has the greatest influence on the feed rate (5.86). The diet is almost independent of the type of feed.

AbstractTrehalose serves multifarious roles in growth and development of insects. In this study, we demonstrated that the high trehalose diet increased the glucose content, and high glucose diet increased the glucose content but decreased the trehalose content of Acyrthosiphon pisum. RNA interference (RNAi) of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase gene (ApTPS) decreased while RNAi of trehalase gene (ApTRE) increased the trehalose and glucose contents. In the electrical penetration graph experiment, RNAi of ApTPS increased the percentage of E2 waveform and decreased the percentage of F and G waveforms. The high trehalose and glucose diets increased the percentage of E2 waveform of A. pisum red biotype. The correlation between feeding behavior and sugar contents indicated that the percentage of E1 and E2 waveforms were increased but np, C, F and G waveforms were decreased in low trehalose and glucose contents. The percentage of np, E1 and E2 waveforms were reduced but C, F and G waveforms were elevated in high trehalose and glucose contents. The results suggest that the A. pisum with high trehalose and glucose contents spent less feeding time during non-probing phase and phloem feeding phase, but had an increased feeding time during probing phase, stylet work phase and xylem feeding phase.

Abstract To the best of our knowledge, the genetic variability in feeding behavior, as well as relationships with performance and feed efficiency, has not been investigated in a cattle population of greater than 1,500 animals. Our objective was to quantify the genetic parameters of several feeding behavior traits, and their genetic associations with both performance and feed efficiency traits, in crossbred growing cattle. Feed intake and live-weight data were available on 6,088 bulls, steers and heifers; of these, 4,672 cattle had backfat and muscle ultrasound data, and 1,548 steers and heifers had feeding behavior data. Genetic (co)variance parameters were estimated using animal linear mixed models; fixed effects included test group, heterosis, recombination loss, dam parity, age in months at the end of test, and the two-way interaction between age in months at the end of test and sex. Heritability was estimated to be 0.51 (0.097), 0.61 (0.100), 0.44 (0.093), 0.48 (0.094), and 0.47 (0.095) for feed events per day, feeding time per day, feeding rate, feed event duration, and energy intake per feed event, respectively. Coefficients of genetic variation ranged from 0.11 (feeding time per day) to 0.22 (feed event duration). Genetically heavier cattle with a higher energy intake per day, and faster growth rate, had a faster feeding rate and a greater energy intake per feed event. Genetic correlations between feeding behavior and feed efficiency were generally not different from zero, however, there was a genetic correlation of 0.36 (0.11) between feeding time per day and residual energy intake. Significant heritable and exploitable genetic variation exists in several feeding behavior traits in crossbred growing cattle which are also correlated with several performance traits. As some feeding behavior traits may be relatively less resource intensive to measure, they could be useful as predictor traits in beef cattle genetic evaluations.

The experiment aimed to evaluate the feeding behavior of Santa Inês lambs fed diets containing different levels of detoxified castor meal in the concentrate. Twenty-four sheep with an average body weight of 18.5± 2.26 kg, at four months of age, were distributed in a randomized complete design with four treatment and six replications. Treatments consisted of four levels of castor meal (0, 33, 67, and 100%) replacing soybean meal. Animals underwent a 15-day adaptation period and an experimental period of 84 days. The diet was composed of 60% sugarcane silage and 40% concentrate, on a dry matter basis. Animal behavior (idle, rumination, and feeding activities) were observed visually for two 24-h periods with 5-min intervals, and recorded. The number of rumination chews and the time taken to ruminate each cud per day were counted using a digital stopwatch. Dry matter (DM) intake was not affected by inclusion of castor meal in the concentrate, averaging 884.02 g day?1. The feeding activity was not affected by addition of castor meal. Rumination time increased linearly, whereas the idle and rumination times decreased linearly with addition of castor meal. Feeding time, expressed in min per kg of DM and NDF, was not influenced by the inclusion of the meal in the diet, averaging 373.3 and 880.0 min, respectively. The number of chews and the time taken to ruminate each cud were not changed by inclusion of castor meal in the diet. Feed efficiency, expressed in grams DM and NDF per hour, was not influenced by castor meal inclusion in the diet. Rumination efficiency expressed in g DM h?1 decreased, but was not affected when expressed in g NDF h?1. Total replacement of soybean meal by castor meal in the concentrate does not affect the feeding time or feed efficiency of feedlot sheep, but leads to a small reduction of their rumination efficiency. Thus, we recommend the inclusion of castor meal in sheep diets at the levels tested in this study.

Extrinsic Factors

Feed is one of the most important external signals in fish that stimulates its feeding behavior and growth. The intake of feed is the main factor determining efficiency and cost, maximizing production efficiency in a fish farming firm. The physiological mechanism regulating food intake lies between an intricate connection linking central and peripheral signals that are unified in the hypothalamus consequently responding to the release of appetite-regulating genes that eventually induce or hinder appetite, such as apelin; a recently discovered peptide produced by several tissues with diverse physiological actions mediated by its receptor, such as feed regulation. Extrinsic factors have a great influence on food intake and feeding behavior in fish. Under these factors, feeding in fish is decontrolled and the appetite indicators in the brain do not function appropriately thus, in controlling conditions which result in the fluctuations in the expression of these appetite-relating genes, which in turn decrease food consumption. Here, we examine the research advancements in fish feeding behavior regarding dietary selection and preference and identify some key external influences on feed intake and feeding behavior. Also, we present summaries of the results of research findings on apelin as an appetite-regulating hormone in fish. We also identified gaps in knowledge and directions for future research to fully ascertain the functional importance of apelin in fish.

Wild Salmon

When hatchery-reared and wild landlocked Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) parr of the same age and size were permitted to compete for social dominance and for food in aquaria, twice as many hatchery salmon attained dominance as wild salmon. Dominant hatchery salmon also showed a higher intensity of aggressiveness than dominant wild salmon, displaying a higher and more variable mean nipping rate. Socially dominant salmon ate more food per fish than subordinates, but there were no statistically significant differences in feeding rate between dominant hatchery and dominant wild salmon, or between subordinate hatchery and subordinate wild salmon.Hatchery salmon displayed lower feeding rates than wild salmon when they were held in separate compartments of an aquarium and compared at three temperatures. This difference in feeding rate probably was not a reflection of differences in adaptation to temperature or food preference, but, rather, was the result of interference with feeding caused by the more intense social interaction among hatchery fish.It is suggested that high levels of aggressiveness may contribute to mortalities of hatchery-reared salmon planted in streams because of loss of feeding time, excessive use of energy, and increased exposure to predators.

 The in situ feeding behavior of pigs was studied for a period of 18 weeks using 3 different but clinically healthy crossbred pigs of varying genotypes. Results showed that there was no marked difference in the pre-feeding, feeding and post-feeding behaviors of the different hybrids used. Observation of feeding behavior showed that all animals fed (picked feed) very intensively during the first 35 minutes of introduction of feed Other activities observed include playing/bullying drinking wallowing, social and courtship behaviors. Rooting and other behaviors like climbing of pen walls were also observed There was no significant difference (P>O.05) in time spent during ingestion (picking of feed) between LW x LC and LC x L crosses. However there was significant difference (P< O. 05) in time spent during ingestion between LWxLC with LWxL crosses, and LCxL with LWxL crosses The total feeding time was slightly higher O. 05) in LWxL than, either of the Other groups. Rooting time was slightly lower in LWx L crosses than in any other group. Total time spent on other major activities like drinking wallowing, playing/ bullying, social/courtship behaviors was slightly higher (P < 0.05) in LWxLC and LWxL than LWxLC crosses. Knowledge of animal behavior is important for improved productivity as well as animal welfare since q deviation from the normal behavior is an indication of ill health.

Extruded Feed

Extrusion is one of the most important technological operations in aquafeed production. Indeed, the digestibility of feed nutrients considerably increases as a result of extrusion. The review deals with the issues of vegetable and animal raw materials processing for aquafeed production through extrusion. The analysis of scientific publications discussing the monitoring subject showed that extrusion of multicomponent mixtures (compound feed) had been studied insufficiently. Research objectives were to generalize and analyze English-language scientific publications containing information on the technologies of compound fish feed extrusion, to clarify the information on the rational parameters of their implementation and the effects on the properties of finished extruded feed. Search, selection, as well as systematic review of highly cited English-language scientific articles on the research subject for the period 2000–2020, were carried out. In the course of the analysis of literary sources, it was detected that the properties of the finished extruded feed were mostly affected by the extrusion temperature, raw material moisture and screw speed. The regularities of changes in the properties of ready-extruded feed granules, as a result of changes in extrusion parameters, have been determined. The results of the analyzed scientific articles made it possible to establish the peculiarities of the extrusion of compound feed for aquaculture based on plant raw materials, in particular starch. We defined the regularities of compound fish feed extrusion containing raw materials with a considerable amount of protein of animal origin, in particular its new type: insects’ biomass. This new type of protein-containing raw materials of animal origin can successfully replace expensive fish meal in the fish feed composition. The essential factor, limiting the application of animal raw materials in fish feed, in particular insects, is its moisture, which should not exceed 30% so that the extrusion process was fully effective. Reducing the feed mixture moisture is possible when combining various types of animal and plant raw materials with high and low moisture. This will ensure the acceptable moisture of the mixture and get the high-quality extruded feed. Aquafeed extrusion is a promising trend. However, it requires additional research to determine the parameters of the extrusion process common to all types of both plant and animal raw materials and their mixtures.
