A comparison of faecal analysis with backtracking to determine the diet composition and species preference of the black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis minor) [PDF]
The diet of black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis minor) was studied using backtracking and faecal analysis in South Africa. Both methods yielded different results, with a large bias for dominant species.

Nutritional value of feed used in diets for Saanen goats
Acta Scientiarum: Animal Sciences, 2015 This study was performed to characterize feed used in diets for Saanen goats. The feedstuffs were: Tifton 85 hay (Cynodon spp.), soybean meal, ground corn, soybean hulls, ground ear corn and dried cassava residue. Contents were determined for dry matter,

Small Grain Forage Trial Nitrogen Fertility and Harvest Date [PDF]
, 2012 Cool season annual forages, such as cereal grains, can provide early season grazing as well as high quality stored feed. However, it is unclear if quality and yield of these forages could be improved through better fertility management.

Endogenous Nitrogen Flow in Chickens as Influenced by Dietary Levels of Viscous and Non-Viscous
Davao Research Journal, 2003 This study was undertaken to examine the antinutritional influence of -soluble non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) in monogastric specie. Specifically, the influence of NSP on ileal nitrogen digestibility and flow were determined in broiler chickens ...

Effect of forage fibre incluison on intake capacity and nutrient digestibility of sows [PDF]
, 2015 Dietary fibre is a compound of feeds which is related with physical satiety of the gut when provided in huge quantities, for example with forage inclusion, as a total mixed ration (TMR).
