Voluntary food intake is generally inversely related to body condition or fatness in mature sheep (Foot, 1972). Since the intake of pelleted diets by housed sheep consists of a number of discrete feeding bouts or 'meals' (e.g. Bermudez et al., 1989), the relatively long-term effect of body condition on intake will be achieved through changes in feeding behaviour at the level of a single meal. The aim of this experiment was to compare the effects of body condition and short-term food restriction on meal patterns in sheep, to investigate the mechanism by which body condition influences daily food intake.

Circulating leptin, the obese gene product secreted by adipocytes, is sensitive to short-term (meals, starvation) and long-term (spontaneous food intake, food restriction) changes in energy balance in sheep (Marie et al 2001). The present study aimed to explore relationships between adiposity, adipose tissue from different sites and blood leptin concentrations in rams kept in long days when adiposity is normally high.
