Feeding in Domestic Vertebrates From Structure to Behaviour
The primary concern of all animals is to find and ingest food to cover their dietary needs. Feeding is defined as ‘a continuous activity which, in many higher animals, is interrupted by period of non-feeding’ (Forbes, 2000). Evolutionary pressures have constructed efficient, rapid and adjustab...

| description |
The primary concern of all animals is to find
and ingest food to cover their dietary needs.
Feeding is defined as ‘a continuous activity
which, in many higher animals, is interrupted
by period of non-feeding’ (Forbes, 2000). Evolutionary
pressures have constructed efficient,
rapid and adjustable series of movements of
morphological structures that permit the gain
of nutriments and energy necessary for fitness of
the animals. In vertebrates, the diversification
of this activity underlying the success of nutritive
processes has played a key role in animal ecological
diversity, although the feeding system
represents only modifications of the same basic
set of homologous skeletal structures either
directly connected by articulations or by contact
with soft tissues. Therefore, feeding efficiency
in the two main lineages of domestic animals,
birds and mammals, results from the strong relationship
between structures, performances,
behaviour and fitness (Fig. 1.1). |
