DescriptionFood consumption is assessed using an automated feeding apparatus that
continually measure feeding behavior in an unobtrusive manner by allowing
animals free access to food cups that are mounted on balances. The apparatus
currently is capable of measuring and time-stamping individual weights from 16
balances simultaneously every 30 seconds and downloading the data directly to a
computer for subsequent analysis. Therefore, cumulative food consumed and the
time at which feeding bouts occur are continuously monitored. All feeding
studies are done after the animal has acclimatized to the facility for at least
24 hours.
