Abstract

Initial decreases in dry matter intake and body mass in both species were a result of insufficient water intake. Smaller initial body mass loss in both species while feeding on duckweed than on alfalfa was due to the higher water content of the duckweed. Smaller body mass loss for sand patridges than for chukars was due to the former's lower water:dry matter intake requirements. -from Author
