Use of rumen–reticulum fill to examine nutrient transfer and factors influencing food intake in white-tailed deer (Odocoileusvirginianus)

Abstract: Estimating relationships of gut fill in mammalian herbivores is useful to understanding digestive functions. Large animals might have more fluid in the gut to facilitate nutrient transfer between the gut lumen and the gut wall. Furthermore, relationships between concentrations of dietary refractory and indigestible fiber (CRIF) and gut fill might indicate whether chemostatic factors or physical distension of the gut affects food intake. We collected white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus (Zimmermann, 1780);… Show more
