The dataset described in this paper was constructed from 90 publications available from bibliographic databases. It presents the values of various quantitative components of ingestive behaviour of grazing ruminants (bite weight, biting rate, intake rate, grazing time, etc.). These values were coded according to the experimental factors tested and described in the publications, of a temporal nature (season, year, grazing cycle) or linked to the sward management strategies (overall density bulk or of the stems, the stage regrowth or the fertilization) or other pasture management strategies (herbage allowance, pasture access time, stocking rate). Other essential factors were also coded, specifying the characteristics of the grass grazed (height of the grass, apparent density, forage species), the characteristics of the animals used (species, stage, age and body weight) or the measurement methods of behavioural components. This coding process aims to facilitate the identification of subsets of data of interest, and have been analysed for example to highlight the main components determining bite weight or the components linking bite weight to intake rate and daily intake (see reference).
本文所述的数据集由书目数据库中获取的90篇出版物构建而成。它呈现了放牧反刍动物采食行为的各种定量组成部分的值（咬重、咬率、采食率、放牧时间等）。这些值根据出版物中测试和描述的实验因素进行编码，这些因素具有时间性质（季节、年份、放牧周期），或与草地管理策略（总体密度或茎的密度、再生阶段或施肥）或其他牧场管理策略（牧草供应量、牧场准入时间、载畜率）相关。其他重要因素也进行了编码，具体说明了所采食牧草的特征（草高、表观密度、牧草种类）、所用动物的特征（种类、阶段、年龄和体重）或行为组成部分的测量方法。这种编码过程旨在便于识别感兴趣的数据子集，并已进行分析，例如以突出决定咬重的主要组成部分，或突出将咬重与采食率和日采食量联系起来的组成部分（见参考文献）。
