abstract

  • Maintenance requirements for adult, nonreproductive Tayassu tajacu were 148.5 kcal/kg MBW/day of digestible energy (136.9 kcal/kg MBW/day of assimilated energy), 0.837 g/kg MBW/day of digestible N, and 0.844 g/kg MBW/day of digestible P. Daily energy requirements were directly related to growth and reproductive activity (increasing with duration of pregnancy and lactation) and inversely related to ambient temperature and age of animal. -from Authors
