Effects of feeding time upon daily intake and body weight.
Feeding behavior in five dogs was studied in three experimental situations, called A, B and C. In situation A the dogs had free access to food and water. Results from this experiment were used to determine the times of high and low ingestion for each individual dog. In situation B, there was limited access to food during the dog's period of high ingestion, and in situation C there was limited access to food during periods of low ingestion. Daily food intake was found to diminish as the dogs proceeded from A and B to C, and was especially pronounced between A and C. Body weight also diminished significantly between A and C.
