“…Therefore, the interaction between fecal NDF and fecal N may be a better measure of energy intake compared to either metric alone. Additionally, increased NDF increases digestion time, thereby reducing forage intake (Mubanga et al 1985, Church 1988, Allen 1996, Meyer et al 2010. Moreover, small changes in diet quality can lead to large changes in energy intake over both short and long time scales (i.e., the "multiplier effect"; White 1983).…”

“…In New Mexico, confined mule deer experienced digestive problems and had depressed forage intake when forced to eat high-grass diets (Mubanga et al 1985). Conversely, mule deer fed highforb and -shrub diets (similar in crude protein content to the grass diets) had no digestive problems and higher intakes than the mule deer that were fed grass diets.…”

“…Despite the suggestions of these experimental studies, the simple linear relationship between FN and DN has been verified in cattle fed both grass and browse in captivity (Holechek et al 1982), as well as in captive black-tailed deer Odocoileus hemionus columbianus and mule deer O. h. hemionus fed a mixture of grass and browse (Mubanga et al 1985, Hodgman et al 1996 and in North American elk, black-tailed deer, and sika deer Cervus nippon Heude, 1884 fed both grass and browse in the field (Leslie and Starkey 1985, Watanabe and Takatsuki 1993, but see Hobbs 1987. FN reflected the nutritional status of free-ranging deer on winter ranges, where browsing was common (Hodgman and Bowyer 1986).…”

“…Fecal nitrogen (FN) has been regarded as equivalent to dietary nitrogen (DN), which in turn has been regarded as equivalent to crude protein (DN´6.25), one of the best indices of diet quality (Mubanga et al 1985, Hodgman et al 1996. FN has shown a positive simple linear relationship with DN, for example, when domestic ruminants (Raymond 1948, Holechek et al 1982, Wehausen 1995 and wild ruminants (eg buffalo Syncerus caffer, gazelle Gazella thomsonii; Arman et al 1975) were fed with grass under controlled conditions.…”
