  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;1. Barred owls fed at a sub-maintenance (SM) level had significantly (P &amp;lt; 0.01) longer meal to pellet intervals (MPI)/g eaten/kg body weight (BW) than those fed at an above maintenance (AM) level; MPI/g per kg for owls fed at a maintenance (M) level was intermediate but significantly (P &amp;lt; 0.01) different from both SM and AM.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. During SM feeding, MPI/g per kg gradually increased.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. The proportion of a meal occurring in a pellet was less in “hungry” owls whether losing weight (SM) or gaining (AM) as compared to owls maintaining their normal body weight (M).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. SM fed owls appear to be able to increase digestion time as well as thoroughness of digestion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
