Publication Date: | 2016 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/19367 | Abstract: | Food intakes and feeding behaviors were quantified in 16 radio-collared, free-ranging dogs. Anthropogenic resources accounted for 87.5% of the diet, mostly independently scavenged. The most frequently eaten item was sadza (maize-meal porridge) followed by human feces. Human feces was more consistently available than carrion and of higher protein content than sadza. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | CSF 2016: 5th Canine Science Forum, Padua, Italy, 28th June - 1st July, 2016 | Source of Publication: | 5th Canine Science Forum Proceedings, p. 132-132 | Publisher: | Padova University Press | Place of Publication: | Padua, Italy | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070203 Animal Management | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 300302 Animal management | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 960499 Control of Pests, Diseases and Exotic Species not elsewhere classified | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 189999 Other environmental management not elsewhere classified | HERDC Category Description: | E3 Extract of Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.csf2016.com |
