TLDR
The validity of the Skinner box was assessed as a means of obtaining detailed records of feeding behaviour and a brief hypothesis concerning the control of food intake in the fowl was formulated.About:

Rate of Passage of Corn-Canola Meal and Corn-Soybean Meal Diets Through the Gastrointestinal Tract of Broiler and White Leghorn Chickens
TL;DR: Segments of the gastrointestinal tract vary in length, weight, and MRT of digesta with dietary composition and type and body weight of chicken for both type of chicken and diet.

A specific appetite for calcium in domestic chickens.
B.O. Hughes,D.G.M. Wood-Gush +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that the appetite is a learnt preference rather than an unlearned homeostatic control, and that it is cue-dependent, for there is no generalization to strontium, the element most closely related to calcium.

The response of broilers to the feeding of mash or pelleted diets containing maize of varying particle sizes.
J. Kilburn,Hardy M. Edwards +1 more
TL;DR: There was a significant interaction between particle size and phosphorus concentration in that chicks given diets deficient in phosphorus had improved bone ash when fed coarse maize as compared to fine maize, and this response was eliminated when the diets were adequate in phosphorus.

Temporal Patterns of Feeding Behaviour in Free-Ranging Horses
Eleanor Mayes,Patrick Duncan +1 more
TL;DR: Meal length, which showed a marked circadian rhythm, was positively correlated with the length of the preceding interval in all seasons except the summer, implying the existence of a control mechanism which maintained gut-fill high.

Animal Behavior and Internal Drives
TL;DR: It is believed that spontaneous activity arises from certain underlying physiological origins within the animal organism, and from studies chiefly on the white rat what some of these origins are, and how they fit into the general biological picture of the animal's life are shown.

Observations on Eating Patterns and Rate of Food Passage of Birds Fed Pelleted and Unpelleted Diets
TL;DR: It has been a general observation that birds fed pellets can eat a given quantity of feed in a much shorter time than those fed mash, and the greater portion of the growth response obtained by pelleting feeds apparently is accounted for by increased density.
