Faecal Analysis as an Indicator of the Dietary Quality Utilised by Free‐Roaming Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) in the Free State Province, South Africa

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Accurate monitoring of wildlife diets and nutrient requirements is needed for effective biodiversity conservation. This also rings true for the world's tallest ruminant, the giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis). The complexity of its anatomy is also reflected in its intricate ruminant, digestive properties.

Some Gastrointestinal Tract Characteristics of Karayaka Ram Lambs Slaughtered at Different Weights

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Thirty‐one Karayaka ram lambs were slaughtered at different body weights (30 (n = 7), 35 (n = 6), 40 (n = 7), 45 (n = 6), and 50 (n = 5) kg of body weight at fast) to evaluate the growth of their gastrointestinal tract (GIT) characteristics, to determine the relationship among slaughter body weight (SBW) and empty body weight (EBW), whole GIT and ...
