FOOD PASSAGE RATE IN MOOSE
Four tame moose (Alces alces) were used to measure dry matter digestion and rates of fluid passage of three diets: a pelleted ration, a mixture of pellets and winter clipped aspen (Populus tremuloides), and a mixture of winter clipped aspen, willow (Salix spp.), and paper birch (Betula papyrifera)....
