Jordan Wood et al.
To more closely simulate the diet of free-ranging elephants, the diet of six (2.4) African elephants (Loxodonta africana) was altered to include more browse and less pelleted complete feed (5% total diet). Dietary proximate compounds, miner...
Foraging enrichment alleviates oral repetitive behaviors in captive red-tailed black cockatoos (Calyptorhynchus banksii) [0.03%]
觅食丰富化可以缓解红尾黑鹦鹉（Calyptorhynchus banksii）的口腔重复行为
Melissa L Fangmeier,Alicia L Burns,Vicky A Melfi et al.
Melissa L Fangmeier et al.
The relationship between inadequate foraging opportunities and the expression of oral repetitive behaviors has been well documented in many production animal species. However, this relationship has been less-well examined in zoo-housed anim...
