Re Andre´s note below: yes, 'mouthful rate', as here:

"Some authors have suggested that, beyond dry matter intake itself, some intake patterns vary between less and more efficient animals. Golden & Kerley (2004) verified that more efficient animals consumed less feed and spent less time consuming diet (lower mouthful rate a day) than the less efficient animals."

Note from asker:
Then, could I say "mouthful rate" when referring to "taxa de bocado"?
Peer comment(s):

agree Muriel Vasconcellos : I found some good examples of 'mouthful rate' in the context of livestock.
