An improved method for quantifying intake rate and ingestive behaviour of ruminants in diverse and variable habitats using direct observation (2004, background): “These results suggest a positive effect of the diversity on offer at pasture, as it begins to be stressed in literature (Meuret et al., 1994; Baumont et al., 2000; Dumont et al., 2001; Ginane et al., 2002).”
Interaction of Plant Species Diversity on Grazing Behavior and Performance of Livestock Grazing Temperate Region Pastures (2007, background): “Short-term feed preferences are modulated by the regulation of diet choice and intake, which integrate digestive and nutritional feedbacks; this in turn governs the balance between motivation to eat and satiety (Baumont et al., 2000).”
