ABSTRACT
In order to test the influence of rumen fill on eating behaviour and voluntary intake in sheep offered
hay, the rumen digesta from sheep at two hours after feeding was exchanged with that from sheep
immediately before feeding. Four rumen-cannulated sheep were fed with grass hay ad libitum. Two
pairs were made consisting of one sheep in the group fed at 8.30 and another sheep in the 10.30 group.
The rumen digesta of the two sheep within a pair were exchanged at 10.30. We analysed the relationship
between eating behaviour and rumen fill, and discussed the mechanism of voluntary intake.
