Study of the digestive rate of coarse cellulose of giant pandas

Comparative study and analysis were undertaken, by the authors ont he digestive rate of animal ration’s coarse cellulose inbamboo powder: concentrates andbamboo: concentrates by man-fed Giant pandas at Fuzhou Giant Panda Research Center in the attempt to find out effective ways to raise the digestive and absorptive rates of coarse cellulose and to prevent giant panda from intestinal obstruction. The results demonstrate: 1. The difference in digestive rate of coarse cellulose betweenbamboo powder: concentrates andbamboo: concentrates is extremely significant (t=15.73>t0.01 (4,3)=3.57).2. The digestive rate of coarse cellulose in bamboo powder made of different bamboo species, is not notably different. (F=2.05
