Does indigestible food remains in the scats of Sloth Bear Melursus ursinus (Carnivora: Ursidae) represent actual contribution of various diet items?

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2010
The contribution of diet items in the food of sloth bears is estimated solely based on the dry weight or volume of indigestible food remains found in the scats, assuming that the ratio of digestible versus indigestible matters is equal in all diet items.

Comparison of indigestible markers from in situ and in vivo incubation to predict apparent digestibility in hay- and corn-fed horses - 10.4025/actascianimsci.v34i1.10572

Acta Scientiarum: Animal Sciences, 2011
Four castrated crossbred horses were used in a randomized block design to study the use of indigestible internal markers iNDF and iADF obtained in situ(from bovines) or in vivo (from equines).

Effects of dietary brown propolis on nutrient intake and digestibility in feedlot lambs

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2014
The present study tested brown propolis in crude or extract form as a feed supplement for feedlot lambs to identify the type that most improves in vivo nutrient digestibility. Digestibility was assessed by both total fecal collection and internal markers
