Equations for Evaluating Nutritional Quality of Available Moose Forage

Description
These equations for evaluating the nutritional quality of moose forages are based on laboratory analyses of small quantities of forage samples. Prior to their development, predictive equations for quantifying the nutritional quality of wild, native forages for moose in their natural habitats did not exist.
