A leopard diet experiment regarding fiber particle size.

[Kapidolo Farms]

It's much to read, jargony, and conforms to the thesis template for CAL POLY SLO. That said I learned much reading it and will that much more when I read it again.

Thanks..
You may find the last paper in the link below of interest (page 72). Not all in the trials are getting the same diet yet results are compared in the same tables, etc. so have to read carefully. Not sure how valid the invitro concept study is as time and motility are taken out of the equation. In any case, food for thought.
