Abstract: Sustained hyperphagia and subsequent rapid weight increases were induced for the first time in ruminants (goats) by lesions in the ventromedial areas of the hypothalamus. This finding supports the concept that the ventromedial area is functioning in the regulation of food intake of ruminants, although the stimuli monitored may he different from those in monogastric animals.
