Body weight information from three mouse ad libitum feeding studies using pelleted AIN93G-based experimental diets containing inulin, probiotic Bb12, or inulin+Bb12.
Against this background, this study aimed at systematically investigating the effects of different feeding routines. Therefore, three feeding routines were compared to the standard ad libitum feeding and effects on body weight development and welfare were investigated in male C57BL/6J mice.

Therefore, three feeding routines were compared to the standard ad libitum feeding and effects on body weight development and welfare were investigated in male C57BL/6J mice.
Mice were provided ad libitum ( ad lib) access to one of the four iso -energetic protein-limited diets, two matched and two mis-matched to the mouse exome target, and fed at a fixed protein energy level of 6.2%. During or following 13-weeks of feeding , the food intake, body growth, composition and reproductive functions were measured.
The feeding microstructure of male and female mice
Under ad libitum conditions, 20w and 30w old females housed in groups showed significantly increased daily energy intake when adjusted to body weight relative to age-matched males.
These diets have been shown to induce obesity based on hyperphagia in both rats and mice (16, 17). Furthermore, diets used in feeding trials can substantially vary with respect to their hardness and diets presenting a hard texture have been shown to cause reduced body-weight gains in rodents (18-21).
Effects of the Physical Form of the Diet on Food Intake, Growth, and ...
In experiment 2, mice were pair-fed the powdered diets to the ad libitum level of food intake of those fed the pelleted form of the respective diets. Body weight , food intake, and fecal excretion were recorded, and body composition was assessed on mice 1 wk before termination of the experiment.
Abstract Groups of C57BL6 mice of each sex were assigned to one of 2 dietary regimens, ad libitum (AL) or dietary restriction (DR), to study effects of food restriction on body weight , survival, and neoplasia.

ADF treatment was defined by 24 h of ad libitum feeding followed by 24 h of fasting. The amount of food provided at the dark phase was weighed, as was the amount of food removed at the onset of the dark phase on the next day to calculate food consumption.
