Abstract
Heat stress (HS) has adverse effects on the body: it decreases body weight, feed efficiency, feed intake, carcass quality, and nutrient digestibility. Chromium (Cr) can prevent lipid peroxidation induced by HS through its strong antioxidant activities, especially when it is added to the poultry diet. It improves the action of insulin and nutrient metabolism (of lipids, proteins, nucleic acid, and carbohydrates) through activation of enzymes associated with such pathways. The results of the studies on Cr added to diets with concentrations of 0.05 mg Cr/kg of Cr-methionine led to improved feed efficiency and DM intake by cows and Holstein dairy calves exposed to high environmental temperatures. Moreover, calves that received Cr at levels of 0.05 mg/kg of body weight tended to have higher serum concentrations of glucose and higher ratios of insulin to glucose. In heat-stressed pigs, Cr addition (200 ppb) increased blood neutrophils by about 37%. Several studies have asserted that Cr can inhibit inflammation in lactating cows by promoting the release of Hsp72, assisting production of IL-10 and inhibiting degradation of IκBα in HS conditions. In addition, Cr supplementation was observed to possibly have positive impacts on both cell-mediated and humeral immunity in heat-stressed buffalo calves. Studies over the last two decades have shown with certainty that chromium supplementation has an impact on many variables in chickens. Moreover, Cr is believed to increase insulin action in insulin-sensitive tissues (i.e., adipose and muscles), resulting in increased farm animal productivity through the improvement of feed intake, growth rate, carcass quality, reproductive parameters and immune functions.

Abstract
Carbohydrate-rich diets may increase urinary excretion of chromium (Cr) and increase its requirements. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of grain type (barley v. corn) and Cr supplementation on feed intake, feeding behavior and weight gain in dairy calves. Forty-eight neonatal Holstein female calves were assigned randomly to four experimental diets in a 2×2 factorial arrangement. Experimental diets were either barley-based diet (BBD) or corn-based diet (CBD) supplemented with (+Cr) or without (-Cr) Cr as Cr-methionine (0.05 mg/kg of BW0.75). Chromium was provided in milk (from days 3 to 73 of life) during the pre-weaning period and then in pre-warmed water (from day 74 until day 94 of life) after weaning. Meal length tended to increase in calves fed the BBD v. CBD during the pre-weaning period. During the post-weaning period, meal size, inter-meal interval, and eating rate increased concurrently but meal frequency and eating time decreased in the BBD v. CBD. During the pre-weaning period, feed efficiency, BW at weaning, and heart girth increased and non-nutritive oral behaviors tended to decrease with Cr supplementation. Due to increased meal frequency, the starter feed intake but not eating time increased by Cr supplementation during the post-weaning period. Supplementing Cr increased starter feed intake, final BW, average daily gain and heart girth during the overall period. Rumination time increased in BBD+Cr calves due to increases in the frequency and duration of rumination, or decreased rumination bout interval. Overall, the type of grain had no effect on feed intake and growth performance; however, Cr supplementation decreased non-nutritive oral behaviors and increased starter feed intake via increasing the meal frequency and thereby improved growth performance.

Abstract
AbstractThe dip in food intake, which starts in late pregnancy and continues into early lactation, has traditionally been interpreted as a depression in intake due to physical constraints. However, the rôle of physical constraints on intake has been overemphasized, particularly in early lactation. There is mounting evidence that the presence and mobilization of body reserves in early lactation play an important rôle in regulating intake at this time.Conceptually, the dip in intake in early lactation observed when cows have access to non-limiting foods can be accounted for by assuming that the cow has a desired level of body reserves. When the cow is not compromised, the changes with time in body reserves and the dip in intake represent the normal case and provide the basis against which to assess true depressions in intake which may occur when the cow is compromised by limiting nutrition or environment.The regulation of body reserves and intake in the periparturient cow is orchestrated through nervous and hormonal signals. Likely factors that are involved in intake regulation are reproductive hormones, neuropeptides, adrenergic signals, insulin and insulin resistance and leptin. Furthermore, oxidation of NEFA in the liver may result in feedback signals that reduce intake. The relative importance of these is discussed. A better understanding of the physiological signals involved in intake regulation and their interrelations with body weight regulation may provide important indicators of the degree of compromise that periparturient cows may experience.

Abstract
The central nervous system undertakes the homeostatic role of sensing nutrient intake and body reserves, integrating the information, and regulating energy intake and/or energy expenditure. Few tasks regulated by the brain hold greater survival value, particularly important in farmed ruminant species, where the demands of pregnancy, lactation and/or growth are not easily met by often bulky plant-based and sometimes nutrient-sparse diets. Information regarding metabolic state can be transmitted to the appetite control centres of the brain by a diverse array of signals, such as stimulation of the vagus nerve, or metabolic 'feedback' factors derived from the pituitary gland, adipose tissue, stomach/abomasum, intestine, pancreas and/or muscle. These signals act directly on the neurons located in the arcuate nucleus of the medio-basal hypothalamus, a key integration, and hunger (orexigenic) and satiety (anorexigenic) control centre of the brain. Interest in human obesity and associated disorders has fuelled considerable research effort in this area, resulting in increased understanding of chronic and acute factors influencing feed intake. In recent years, research has demonstrated that these results have relevance to animal production, with genetic selection for production found to affect orexigenic hormones, feeding found to reduce the concentration of acute controllers of orexigenic signals, and exogenous administration of orexigenic hormones (i.e. growth hormone or ghrelin) reportedly increasing DM intake in ruminant animals as well as single-stomached species. The current state of knowledge on factors influencing the hypothalamic orexigenic and anorexigenic control centres is reviewed, particularly as it relates to domesticated ruminant animals, and potential avenues for future research are identified.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine whether the intake of fresh highly digestible ryegrass could be limited by the total amount of energy absorbed. Moreover, it investigated whether the limitation was more specific to energy absorbed as volatile fatty acids in the rumen compared with energy absorbed in the lower gastrointestinal tract. Four treatments were compared: infusion of 1.25 kg of glucose into the rumen (R1.25), infusion of 2.5 kg of glucose into the rumen (R2.5), infusion of 1.5 kg of glucose into the duodenum (D1.5), and a control treatment consisting of water and salts. Treatments R2.5 and D1.5 were assumed to supply about 16.5 MJ of net energy for lactation. All treatments consisted of 2 infusions, one into the rumen and the other into the duodenum, with one of these infusions being a control. All infused solutions were isoosmotic with osmolarities around 340 and 330 mmol/L for rumen and duodenum, respectively. Treatments were compared using 4 dairy cows in mid lactation according to a 4 x 4 Latin square design replicated twice during 8 periods of 7 d each. Cows were housed in tie stalls and fed ad libitum with fresh perennial ryegrass cut every morning during the spring at 28 d of regrowth. Intake and feeding behavior were measured, as well as concentrations of ruminal fermentation products and some blood metabolites. The pepsin-cellulase organic matter digestibility of the offered herbage averaged 0.76 +/- 0.011. The average dry matter intake of herbage was 15.5 +/- 0.52 kg/d. The glucose infusions decreased dry matter intake by 0.95 kg/d compared with the control, but had the same satiating effect regardless of site or dose of infusion. The average concentration of volatile fatty acids in rumen fluid was 97.9 +/- 2.03 mmol/L and the molar proportion of propionate was 21.6 +/- 0.19 mmol/100 mmol. Glucose infusions into the rumen led to a decrease in the molar proportions of acetate from 64.4 on the control treatment to 60.9 mmol/100 mmol on R2.5 and increased the molar proportions of butyrate from 10.2 (control) to 13.5 mmol/100 mmol on R2.5, and minor acids (valerate and caproate), from 1.27 (control) to 2.54 mmol/100 mmol on R2.5, proportionally to the dose infused. These results suggested that energy nutrients can limit intake in dairy cows fed high-digestibility ryegrass and that butyrate and minor acids would have a limited satiating effect compared with propionate.

Abstract
There has been great interest in dry matter intake regulation in lactating dairy cattle to enhance performance and improve animal health and welfare. Predicting voluntary dry matter intake (VDMI) is complex and influenced by numerous factors relating to the diet, management, housing, environment and the animal. The objective of this review is to identify and discuss important metabolic factors involved in the regulation of VDMI and their integration with metabolism. We have described the adaptations of intake and metabolism and discussed mechanisms of intake regulation. Furthermore we have reviewed selected metabolic signals involved in intake regulation. A substantial dip in VDMI is initiated in late pregnancy and continues into early lactation. This dip has traditionally been interpreted as caused by physical constraints, but this role is most likely overemphasized. The dip in intake coincides with changes in reproductive status, fat mass, and metabolic changes in support of lactation, and we have described metabolic signals that may play an equally important role in intake regulation. These signals include nutrients, metabolites, reproductive hormones, stress hormones, leptin, insulin, gut peptides, cytokines, and neuropeptides such as neuropeptide Y, galanin, and corticotrophin-releasing factor. The involvement of these signals in the periparturient dip in intake is discussed, and evidence supporting the integration of the regulation of intake and metabolism is presented. Still, much research is needed to clarify the complex regulation of VDMI in lactating dairy cows, particularly in the periparturient animal.

Abstract
The aim of this trial was to demonstrate the mechanisms and dynamics of signals triggered by digestion in the short-term control of feed intake. Large nylon bags containing rolled wheat were placed into the rumens of four fistulated cows--either prior to feed distribution or during a feeding period--and left for 4 h. To account for bag volume and its effects, bags full of indigestible sawdust were used as a control. The four treatments were compared according to a Latin square design with three replications. Regardless of their contents, when bags were present during the experimental feeding period, intake decreased by 1.2 kg of dry matter through a filling effect. Wheat in the bags had no specific effect on intake during the experimental intake period. Conversely, on the day after the experiment, the presence of wheat during feeding caused a 4.2-kg dry matter decrease in intake compared with the saw-dust control. This trial indicated that the nutritional feedback signaling effect on intake control during meals is delayed, contrary to that of rumen fill. Moreover, the delayed effect on intake is only observed when nutrient cues are synchronous with meals, and, consequently, could be the result of experience.

Abstract
The purpose of the present review is to examine the role played by nutrients in controlling feed intake in ruminants, in light of their particular anatomical, physiological, nutritional and behavioural characteristics. The ration is first digested in the rumen for several hours by microbial fermentation. Volatile fatty acids, which constitute 50-75% of a ruminant's energy supply, considerably depress feed intake when administered by short-term infusion into the rumen. However, this effect seems to be largely due to osmolarity problems. Only propionate seems to have a specific action, unrelated to osmolarity, in the mesenteric or portal veins. Nitrogenous nutrients have little short-term effect on feed intake, except when there is excess NH3 in the rumen. Metabolic cues from intestinal digestion, particularly of glucose and starch, have very little short- or long-term influence in controlling feed intake, in comparison with rumen digestion cues. However, the short-term responses in feeding behaviour do not always reflect longer-term effects on feed intake control. The effects of volatile fatty acid infusion on feed intake are much less significant over the long term, except in the case of propionate. The nutrients required for good microbial activity (proteins in the rumen) generally promote feed intake, whereas nutrients that disrupt rumen functioning (lipids) reduce feed intake. After a learning period, preferences are always governed by a tendency toward optimum rumen functioning, rather than by animal nutritional requirements, although the two factors are not independent. Ruminants, due to their particular anatomical and nutritional characteristics, have, in the course of their evolution, developed specific feed intake control mechanisms based on nutritional cues.

Abstract
The aim of this experiment was to show whether growth hormone could increase the effect of the beta 2-adrenergic agonist clenbuterol on feed intake. Two groups of Holstein cows [lactating (n = 4) and dry (n = 4)] were used to rule out the possible effects of increased energy requirements on feed intake. Treatments were administered according to a crossover experimental design with two 13-d periods and an 8-d readjustment interval. Treatments consisted of daily injections of 40 mg of bST or a placebo. Moreover, clenbuterol (3.16 micrograms/kg of BW) or saline challenges were infused intravenously for 4 h either on d 8 or on d 11 of each period. The cows were offered a dehydrated total mixed diet for ad libitum intake for 4 h twice daily. For both groups of cows, clenbuterol reduced DMI on the experimental day only, and bST intensified the effects of clenbuterol on DMI, causing a sharper decrease in DMI over 2 d. This enhancement of clenbuterol activity modified certain metabolic parameters including higher lipid mobilization during infusion and higher glycogenolysis. For dry cows, the initial rate of eating was reduced under bST treatment alone. During early lactation, bST, either by itself or through increased beta 2-adrenergic stimulation may restrict the development of intake by dairy cows over a few weeks.

Abstract
The goal of this experiment was to determine whether modulation of beta 2-adrenoceptors influenced DMI of lactating dairy cows. Because stimulation of these receptors induces mobilization of body fat stores, the effect of such stimulation on feed intake was compared with the effect of an intravenous administration of lipid nutrients. Four treatments were infused intravenously over a 4-h period: 1) a beta 2-agonist (clenbuterol), 2) a beta-blocker (propranolol), 3) triglyceride emulsion (lipids), or 4) saline. Two trials were carried out for the same four cows to compare the effects of two expected lipolytic situations. Trial 1 used cows at 60 DIM treated with infusions from 0300 to 0700 h, and trial 2 used cows at 92 DIM treated with infusions from 0800 to 1200 h. Each trial was composed of three consecutive replications of a 4 x 4 balanced Latin square design with 2-d periods. A complete diet (70% maize silage and 30% concentrate) was offered for ad libitum intake. In both trials, clenbuterol reduced DMI on the day of infusion (-7.9 and -11.2% for trials 1 and 2, respectively) and on the following day (-5.1 and -6.3% in trials 1 and 2, respectively). This decrease occurred some time after the end of infusion. Intravenous lipid supplementation reduced DMI during infusion in both trials and during the entire day in trial 2. Both clenbuterol and lipids increased plasma NEFA only during infusion. Propranolol had no effect on DMI or basal lipolysis. The data demonstrated that stimulating beta 2-adrenoceptors reduced DMI but in a manner different from that of lipid energy supplementation.
