UNFOLDING THE CODES OF SHORT-TERM FEED APPETENCE IN FARM AND COMPANION ANIMALS. A COMPARATIVE ORONASAL NUTRIENT SENSING BIOLOGY REVIEW

The evolution of the chemical senses has resulted in a sensory apparatus for high taste and smell acuity in mammals and birds to ensure self-nourishment. Such peripheral chemosensory systems function as a code to unfold the nutritional value of feedstuffs. Food ingestion simultaneously evokes odor, taste and thermo-mechanical (somatosensing) sensations.…
