Forage intake rates and foraging efficiency of free-ranging zebra and impala

Intake rates and foraging efficiency depend on the anatomic features of the foraging animal and its foraging behaviour. Foraging parameters of Burchellï¿½s zebra (Equus burchelli) and Impala (Aepyceros melampus) were collected to determine the intake rate, cropping rate and bite size through observa...

Zusammenfassung:	Intake rates and foraging efficiency depend on the anatomic features of the foraging animal and its foraging behaviour. Foraging parameters of Burchellï¿½s zebra (Equus burchelli) and Impala (Aepyceros melampus) were collected to determine the intake rate, cropping rate and bite size through observation and bite count methods.
