Sažetak
We discuss why herbivores eat a variety of food and why diet that enable animals to select among alternative foods may enable individuals to better meet nutritional needs in confinement and on pasture. We suggest that: (1) animals can more efficiently meet their individuals needs for macronutrients when offered a choice among dietary ingredients than when constrained to a single diet, even if it is nutritionally balanced ; (2) transient food aversion compound the inefficiency of a single mixed diet by depressing intake even among animals suited to that nutritional profile ; and (3) alternative feeding practices may allow producers to efficiently capitalize on the agency of animals, thus reducing illness and improving performance.
