Nutrient digestibility and fecal characteristics are different among captive exotic felids fed a beef-based raw diet

Abstract 10.1002/zoo.20172.abs Nutrient digestibility has not been well characterized in exotic felids. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate differences in nutrient digestibility and fecal characteristics in five large exotic captive felid species, including bobcats, jaguars, cheetahs, Indochinese tigers, and Siberian tigers.
