The effect of changes in dietary fat level on body composition, blood metabolites and hormones, rate of passage, and nutrient assimilation efficiency in harbor seals
The focus of this study was to determine the effect of dietary fat content on assimilation efficiency (AE) in harbor seals. Rate of passage (peak at 24h) and initial defecation times (mean of 13.0h) were initially measured in five harbor seals on a typical high fat herring diet. Five harbor seals we...
