Intake and digestion of non-traditional feedstuffs by farmed collared peccary (Mammalia, Tayassuidae)
ABSTRACT To assess the ability of the collared peccary ( Pecari tajacu ) to digest dietary fiber, four adult male collared peccaries were randomly assigned to a 4 × 4 Latin square design to determine the effects of feeding non-traditional feed ingredients, taken from palm trees with different levels...
