Abstract:
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).
摘要:
本文描述的数据集是根据可从书目数据库获得的90种出版物构建的。它显示了放牧反刍动物摄食行为的各种定量成分的值(咬重,咬率,摄入率,放牧时间,等。).这些值是根据出版物中测试和描述的实验因素编码的,时间性质(季节,Year,放牧周期)或与土壤管理策略(总体密度或茎的密度,阶段再生或施肥)或其他牧场管理策略(牧草津贴,牧场访问时间,备货率)。其他基本因素也被编码,指定放牧的草的特征(草的高度,表观密度,牧草物种),使用的动物的特征(物种,舞台,年龄和体重)或行为成分的测量方法。此编码过程旨在帮助识别感兴趣的数据子集,例如,已经进行了分析,以强调确定咬合重量的主要成分或将咬合重量与摄入率和每日摄入量联系起来的成分(见参考资料)。
