TLDR
A method that models the frequency distribution of log-transformed interval lengths and obtained meaningful meal criteria for all individuals by fitting either a double, or a triple, log-normal model to the frequency distributions of the lengths of intervals between feeding.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
AGRP neurons are sufficient to orchestrate feeding behavior rapidly and without training
TL;DR: AGRP neuron–mediated feeding was not dependent on suppressing this melanocortin pathway, indicating that AGRP neurons directly engage feeding circuits, and feeding was evoked selectively over drinking without training or prior photostimulus exposure, which suggests that A GRP neurons serve a dedicated role coordinating this complex behavior.

TL;DR: Daily feeding time was the feeding characteristic that changed most consistently in relation to the studied disorders, which suggests that a system that monitors short-term feeding behavior can assist in the early identification of sick cows.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring the feeding behavior of lactating dairy cows in early to peak lactation.
TL;DR: The results illustrate that some measures of feeding behavior are highly repeatable within cows, but variable between cows and across stages of lactation, and tests of treatment effects on feeding behavior should be within cow and control for days in milk.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that flies ingest food by rhythmically extending their proboscis with a frequency that is not modulated by the internal state of the animal, pointing to a common strategy in how the nervous systems of different animals control food intake.

Competition at the feed bunk changes the feeding, standing, and social behavior of transition dairy cows
TL;DR: Results indicate that restricting access to feed increases displacements regardless of parity, and alters the feeding and standing behavior of primiparous and multiparous cows differently.
