Coprophagy in marmosets due to insufficient protein (amino acid) intake
1988
Flurer, C. I. | Zucker, H.
In the course of experiments to study the minimal protein requirement of common marmosets by nitrogen balance methods, coprophagy was observed. It occurred in most animals fed diets either with a protein content below 6% or lacking histidine/arginine. The protein level of 6% had previously been evaluated as being the minimal protein requirement for maintenance of marmosets.
