Circadian rhythms and diurnal patterns in the feed intake behaviour of growing-finishing pigs
Abstract The feeding behaviour of growing-finishing pigs is an important indicator of performance, health and welfare, but this use is limited by its large, poorly-understood variation. We explored the variation in basal feed intake of individual pigs by detecting circadian rhythms, extracting featu...
