NOTE

Exploring the Influence of Maternal Nutrition on Offspring Development and Feeding Behavior

Maternal behavior regarding feeding can influence the feeding behavior of offspring, regardless of the sire's traits. Aggressive eaters tend to have calves that exhibit similar behavior, being quick to eat and dominating food access. In contrast, timid eaters show a slower, distracted feeding pattern. The drive to eat is inherent in animals, with differences lying in the regulation of intake; some animals have constant alarms to stop eating, while others never seem to turn off their feeding behavior. These variations may be linked to complex behaviors that impact intake regulation. Unlike humans who have set meal times, animals have feed accessible at all times, leading to diverse eating behaviors. Studies in animals suggest that while hormones can temporarily impact food intake, the overall daily intake remains unchanged. Such studies highlight the challenge of understanding and regulating intake behaviors among animals.
