The effect of hunger satiation on selectivity for diet quality by sheep grazing a smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis) pasture was studied with esophageal fistulated sheep. Fifteen wethers (45.8 +/- .7 kg) were allotted to 5 treatments: nonfasted, fasted for 16 h and then fed 0, 135, 271, or 407 g of pelleted feed. Nonfasted animals were confined at 0800 h and sheep receiving pellets were fed at 0700 h. One animal from each treatment was included in groups released for grazing at 0900, 0930, and 1000 h. Sheep grazed the smooth bromegrass pasture for 30 min. The experiment was conducted on 4 consecutive days. Nonfasted sheep had a lower rate of intake than fasted animals (0 g pelleted feed) (47 vs. 124 mg/min/kg BW^0.75, P.05). All treatment g...
