Instantaneous intake rate in horses of different body sizes: Influence of sward biomass and fibrousness

The functional response, that is the relationship between the food intake rate of a forager and the availability of food items, has been subject to numerous investigations in ruminants. In horses however, the functional response has been poorly studied despite of the importance of grazed forage in h...
