Effect of Compositing Samples on Analysis of Fecal Nitrogen

We compared percent nitrogen of 12 composited fecal samples of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) with means of samples that were analyzed individually (n = 191). We hypothesized that composites and means of individual samples would be similar in fecal nitrogen (FN). No significant differenc...

Zusammenfassung:	We compared percent nitrogen of 12 composited fecal samples of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) with means of samples that were analyzed individually (n = 191). We hypothesized that composites and means of individual samples would be similar in fecal nitrogen (FN). No significant differences in FN were found between composites and means of individuals (P > 0.70). Comparison of deer populations using composites and individuals yielded similar results (P > 0.10).
