When infected deer congregate at an artificial feeding site, they could easily infect other deer that visit the same site. “It’ll facilitate more rapid transmission of disease,” says Fuda. 4.
The efficiency of conversion of ingested food to unit of body substance (ECI, also termed "growth efficiency") is an index measure of food fuel efficiency in animals. [1] ...
Moose have no problem feeding on willows in this way as the nutritional value of willow twigs does not differ between original growth and regrowth after browse. Moose follow the same general migration routes every year often browsing on the same trees. [3] Alaska moose require a daily intake of 9770 kilocalories (32 kg).
The principle of minimum energy is essentially a restatement of the second law of thermodynamics. It states that for a closed system, with constant external parameters and entropy, the internal energy will decrease and approach a minimum value at equilibrium. External parameters generally means the volume, but may include other parameters which ...

[2] [94] In northeastern Norway, it was found that moose were the most important single food item (present in up to 45% of scats and locally comprising more than 70% of the bear's dietary energy) for local brown bears and several local bears appear to be specialized moose hunters, most often picking off sickly yearling moose and pregnant but ...
As of 2015 farm-raised Atlantic salmon had a commodified feed supply with four main suppliers, and an FCR of around 1. [31] Tilapia is about 1.5, [32] and as of 2013 farmed catfish had a FCR of about 1. [8] It is possible for fish to have an FCR below 1 despite obvious energy losses in feed-to-meat conversion.
