The feeding behavior of dogs in one-pan and two-pan tests was measured in the usual way (total food intake in the test) and at a fine-grained level (cumulative amount eaten on a moment-by-moment basis during the test). The four experiments reported studied dogs' reactions to different dry foods, and to semi-moist and canned foods. The fine-grained measures were informative about the dogs' reactions to the foods in several ways that could not be derived from the usual intake measure. The main value of the fine-grained measurements seems to be that they suggest new directions for research on feeding behavior that may improve the understanding of performance in one- and two-pan tests.
在单盘和双盘测试中,通过常规方式(测试中的总食物摄入量)以及精细层面(测试过程中逐时刻累计进食量)来测量狗的进食行为。所报道的四项实验研究了狗对不同干粮、半湿粮和罐头食品的反应。精细测量从几个方面提供了关于狗对食物反应的信息,而这些信息无法从常规摄入量测量中得出。精细测量的主要价值似乎在于,它们为进食行为研究指明了新方向,这可能会增进对单盘和双盘测试表现的理解。
