The daily rumination time (DRT) and the nycterohemeral pattern of rumination were recorded in six ewes before mating and during late pregnancy and in one unmated ewe. The mean DRT was shorter during pregnancy (mean: 329 min/day) than before mating (mean: 435 min/day). The DRT of the unmated ewe remained constant. The nycterohemeral pattern of rumination changed little during the trial.
在六只母羊交配前、妊娠后期以及一只未交配母羊中记录了每日反刍时间(DRT)和反刍的昼夜模式。妊娠期间的平均DRT(平均:329分钟/天)比交配前(平均:435分钟/天)短。未交配母羊的DRT保持不变。在试验期间,反刍的昼夜模式变化不大。
