G.  aComparison of rumen and fecal analysis to describe deer diets.h[electronic resource]  c1974  aAbstract: Rumen and fecal samples were collected simultaneously from mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and white-tailed deer (O. virginianus) in southeastern Arizona. Rumen samples were analyzed volumetrically and fecal samples microscopically to compare results obtained by the two techniques. Comparisons of the data acquired by these techniques show that results from microscopic fecal analysis are quite similar to those from volumetric rumen analysis. Fecal analysis appears to be a useful technique for studying deer diets in the arid Southwest. The utility of this technique for other areas and species is discussed as are sampling rates and suggestions for successful use of fecal analysis.  aAnimal nutrition  aDiet  aDieta  aNutrição  aAnalise fecal  aFecal analysis1 aSMITH, N.
