Commercial feed acceptance of diets for Amazonian manatees (Trichechus inunguis) in captivity
Revista Brasileira de Higiene e Sanidade Animal, 2018 Keeping Amazonian manatees (Trichechus inunguis) in captivity is expensive and complex. Access to natural food is seasonal, and feeding manatees farmed plants is quite costly, requiring expensive logistics and planning. This study aimed to obtain alternative, good-quality feed to reduce feeding costs and decrease the risk of infectious and contagious ...
