Chronoregulation of Ruminants Feed Intake: A Cropping Science

Abstract

Author(s): Akbar Nikkhah

Chronophysiology is an evolutionary pragmatic interscience that helps ruminants cope with the fluctuating environment. In light of the most recent discoveries on feeding and eating timing-orchestration of postprandial intake and rumen fermentation patterns, an innovative perspective is born to analyze chronophysiology as a major organizer of voluntary feed intake (VFI). This article elaborates on this postmodern innovation.
