Prandial correlations measure the strength of the effects of between-meal interval length
on the size of subsequent meals (pre-prandial) and vice versa (post-prandial) and provide
insight into the control of food intake. In this paper we develop hypotheses about prandial
correlations by using feeding behaviour data consisting of more than 300,000 meals that
were recorded from at least 290 animals from each of six genotypes (four broiler lines,
ducks and turkeys).
