dc.description.abstractThe dry weight composition of foodplants was estimated by a microscope technique for esophageal samples from steers, fecal samples of steers and fecal samples from sheep fed on the esophageal samples. Perennial species of foodplants forming more than 5% of the diets could be identified and quantified by the analysis of 100 microscope fields at 125 power magnification. The diagnostic features of fragile forbs were not as prominent in feces as they are in non-digested plants.
