Abstrakt: It has been demonstrated that the food intake of two groups of weanling rats, whose rations contained respectively 20 and 30% of non-nutritive cellulose, was significantly influenced by the digestible energy content of the food. This would indicate that within physiological limits, as yet not determined, weanling rats eat to satisfy their energy requirements.
