Still, a relatively small sample size to assume generalizations. One author of this study, E. Kienzle, is very prominent in zoology and has written many research articles re: fiber in foods and how to make the most of supplements and the pros and cons of commercial pet foods versus homemade etc. I don't know if that would be of any interest to you? I thought I'd mention it since I found it interesting that, of the 144 articles which were available, none were the one we were seeking! However, I learned a lot just from scanning this authors available published works! So, if you're interested, have a look. If you can't find something, let me know and I'll try to help?


Also, if anyone is interested in rhino/tapir feces consistency on the basis of B12 deficiency and iron supplements, please do let me know! These published works are care of E. Kienzle! lol
Yes, I was looking at some of the other Ellen Kienzle articles yesterday. She has an article on the effect of chondroitin and mussel extract on dogs with joint diseases (A Placebo-Controlled Double-Blind Study on the Effect of Nutraceuticals (Chondroitin Sulfate and Mussel Extract) in Dogs with Joint Diseases as Perceived by Their Owners) as well as articles about measuring various nutritional contents of commercial dog foods. Very interesting!
