USING MICROHISTOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES TO PREDICT BOTANICAL COMPOSITION OF HORSE DIETS ON COOL-SEASON GRASS PASTURE
Microhistological analysis is a highly effective microscopic technique of determining botanical composition of animal diets by visual recognition of fecal plant fragments, and has been widely used in range studies. The objective of this study was to use microhistological techniques to predict the bo...
