dc.descriptionThis study aimed to evaluate the ingestive behavior of sheep fed increasing levels ofmesquite pod meal (0, 15, 30 and 45% in total dry matter diet), replacing grass silage elephant. Eight noncastratedSanta Inês sheep with average weight of 32 kg were divided into two 4 x 4 Latin squares, eachlasting 15 days. The sheep were submitted to visual observation every ten minutes, for 24 hours, in the 13thday of each experimental period. There was no significant regression (p > 0.05) relative to the time spenton feeding, rumination and resting, depending on the levels of substitution of mesquite pod meal. Theaverage time spent on feeding, rumination and resting was 5.64, 10.88 and 8.8h day-1, respectively. Therewas a positive linear effect (p < 0.05) regarding the levels of replacement of elephant grass silage bymesquite pod meal on dry matter intake (DMI), neutral detergent fiber intake (NDFI), feeding efficiencyof DM, rumination efficiency of DM, rumination efficiency of NDF. The use of observation intervals ofup to 30 minutes does not alter the assessment of time spent on feeding, rumination and resting.
