This work assessed the extent to which the food preferences of dogs housed in testing-kennels are representative of those reported for dogs housed in consumers' homes. Experiment 1 compared two-pan preference data from kennel-dogs and home-dogs fed canned, semi-moist, or dry food products. Kennel- and home-dogs performed similarly on the canned-products test, but differed significantly on the semi-moist and dry products tests. Experiment 2 demonstrated that the discrepancies between kennel- and home-dogs were likely due to differences in feeding history prior to the test. Experiment 3 showed that the effects of prefeeding with a single food are relatively short-lived in kennel-dogs, lasting for only a few days. In home-dogs preferences were more stable.
这项研究评估了饲养在测试犬舍中的狗的食物偏好能在多大程度上代表那些饲养在消费者家中的狗的食物偏好。实验1比较了饲养在犬舍中的狗和饲养在家庭中的狗对罐装、半湿或干狗粮产品的双盘偏好数据。犬舍狗和家庭狗在罐装产品测试中的表现相似,但在半湿和干产品测试中存在显著差异。实验2表明,犬舍狗和家庭狗之间的差异可能是由于测试前喂养历史的不同。实验3表明,在犬舍狗中,用单一食物预喂的影响相对短暂,只持续几天。在家庭狗中,偏好则更稳定。
