Quantitative assessment of feeding in a free-ranging group of Przewalski horses, Equus przewalskii, in a steppe habitat (the Askania Nova Biosphere Reserve)
The daily food intake and digestibility by Przewalskii horses were estimated under conditions of free ranging in the steppe Askania Nova Reserve. The digestibility was determined from the proportions of inert ...
