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...

Feeding in Domestic Vertebrates From Structure to Behaviour
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).
