From: Daily rhythm of rumination in the goat (Capra hircus) is not driven by feeding
Daily rhythm (Mean ± SEM) of rumination in fed and fasted goats in summer (left panel) and winter (right panel). Data (symbols) with fitted blue and red discontinued curves (f = y0 + a*cos(2π*(t-φ/τ)) : f is the rumination at time t, y0 is the mesor, a is the amplitude, φ is acrophase and τ is the period). Each data point is calculated by averaging the rumination durations for each animal at 1h-time interval over the days of each stage and then averaging all animals for that interval. ***: P ≤ 0.001 (Very highly significant differences), **: P ≤ 0.01 (highly significant differences), *: P ≤ 0.05 (Significant differences), ns: P > 0.05 (Non-significant differences).
