Experimental reduction of food quality is not compensated with increased food intake in high-arctic muskoxen ( Ovibos moschatus )
A total of four barren adult female muskoxen ( Ovibos moschatus ) were used over a period of 2 years for the purpose of the present study. During the first year, the natural changes in appetite ( ad libitum intake of standard pelleted reindeer feed) and body mass were determined in two of the animal...
