The ingestive behavior patterns were evaluated using nine sheep 1/2 Texel+1/2 Ile-de-France over a six-month period. Sheep were fed the diet at 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., which was composed by 250 g of concentrate (15.45% CP, 36.54% NDF) and ad libitum grass hay (6.69 % CP, 69.10 % NDF). The ingestive behavior was continuously measured by five days per period, and its activities or states were classified as eating, ruminating or idling, and sequentially registered. The time series was […]
