“…However, analysis of variance and regression are commonly used to evaluate ingestive behavior; however, understanding a time series data on a mean implies loss of information about behavior pattern belonging to a circadian cycle. Thus, another method has been proposed to assess feeding behavior on ruminants with observations taken sequentially during a 24-hour period composing a circadian pattern (Roland et al, 2018;Ruuska, Kajava, Mughal, Zehner, & Mononen, 2016). This approach using time series data have been used to understand the relationship between different types of activities, states and causes of ingestive behavior (Fischer, Dutilleul, Deswysen, Dèspres, & Lobato, 2000) and their relationship with animal performance.…”
