Summary
The objective of this mini review article was to illuminate hormones-mediated feed intake regulation in ruminant and rat models. Hormones belong to metabolic factors that control and regulate feed intake in ruminants and rats. The role of glucagon in feed intake regulation in ruminants has not been thoroughly described. Intraperitoneal glucagon has not affected feed intake in rats.
