The conclusions were that in the dry season the eland was a pure browser, consuming grasses in small amounts.
Studies from New Zealand and Finland using quantitative molecular techniques have shown B. proteoclasticus to be present at high numbers in the rumen contents from animals consuming pasture or grass silage based diets [12], [13], and it has also been commonly detected in rumen 16S rDNA libraries [3].
There is some overlap with at least the two values of -8,3 and -6,6‰ indicating some differences in isotopic niche, with H. devillei consuming less grass than E. (A).
The rumen fluid and feces were collected from two ruminally cannulated beef steers consuming a grass-hay diet.
The objective of this study was to assess enteric methane (CH4) emissions when a forage legume is introduced in the diet of animals consuming a tropical grass.
We suggest a maximum DDGS feeding rate of 1.25% of BW for growing calves consuming native tall grass prairie hay as long as maximum dietary sulfur concentrations are not exceeded.
As Jim White continued laying out the details of New Orleans being submerged and Orlando becoming beachfront property, I looked out the window at the teenagers lounging on the hydrated grass, consuming fast-food meat from plastic containers, and wondered why they weren't more terrified.

Animals consume soil along with fodder, either by eating the soil directly while grazing or by consuming plants (e.g., grass, hay, or beetroot) to which soil has adhered (McLachlan et al. 1996a; Zach and Mayoh 1984).
After a season underground in the form of a grub called a leatherjacket, consuming the roots of grasses, they transform into a "wide-winged, stiff, weightless basket-work of limbs" (Hughes again, in A Crane Fly in September), and emerge to flit around the upperworld for a short while.
