在Manawatu，水鹿通过剥树皮破坏松树林。在1994年和1995年的8月至9月，从水鹿中采集了瘤胃内容物和肝脏样品，以确定这些动物的饲料中松树的发生率和微量元素（铜，硒，钴）状态。40个瘤胃内容物样品中有34个样品的优势植物是未鉴定的草。在其余样品中，亚麻（Phormium tenax）占主导地位的三个和松树（Pinus spp.）倒计时三在25个样品中发现了松针和/或松树茎，占11个样品干重的10%以上，但只有3个样品中发现了松树皮。22份肝脏样本中硒（>850 nmol/kg）和维生素B12（>220 nmol/kg）的水平被认为对绵羊、红鹿和牛是足够的，可能也适用于水鹿。从Moutoa射杀的鹿中采集的四个样品中有三个样品的肝脏铜水平不足（<100 μmol/kg），其饮食由草和亚麻组成。各种各样的饮食的S…
Abstract In Manawatu, sambar deer cause damage to pine forests by stripping bark off trees. In August‐September of 1994 and 1995 samples of rumen contents and liver were collected from sambar to determine the incidence of pine in the diet and the trace element (copper, selenium, cobalt) status of these animals. Unidentified grasses were the predominant plants in 34 of the 40 rumen content samples. In the remaining samples, flax (Phormium tenax) predominated in three and pine (Pinus spp.) in three. Pine needles and/or stems were found in 25 samples, and constituted more than 10% of the dry weight of 11 samples, but pine bark was found in only three samples. The levels of selenium (>850 nmol/kg) and vitamin B12 (>220 nmol/kg) in the 22 liver samples would be considered adequate for sheep, red deer, and cattle and probably also for sambar. The liver copper levels were inadequate (<100 μmol/kg) in three of four samples taken from deer shot in Moutoa whose diet consisted of grass and flax. The varied diet of s...
