Semiadi, G. (1995) Dietary peferences of sambar (Cervus unicolor) and red deer (Cervus elaphus) offered browse, forage legume and grass species.

the study concluded that preferences for grass species were similar between the species. Red deer had strong preference for selecting legumes of high nutritive value, whereas sambar had a high preference for browse species

Endicott-Davies, D.R. (1996) Differences in the hiding behaviour of new-born red deer and hybrid 1/4 Pere David's x 3/4 red deer calves.

Presents the differences in behaviour of neonatal purebred red deer and hybrids. The results indicate that the behaviour of the hybrids, significantly to that of the purebreds, and shows that a component of neonatal behaviour in deer may be inherited

Barry, T.N. (1995) Digestion and chewing behaviour of young sambar and red deer consuming a diet of low quality roughage

Comparing the N balance and liveweight response of young sambar and red deer to a diet of low quality roughage

Barry, T.N. (1993) Digestion and rumen metabolism of forages by red deer, goats and sheep.

The objectives of the studies presented in this paper were to compare digestive efficiency and rumen metabolism in deer, goats and sheep during winter and summer fed the same forage diet and to compare digestion and rumen metabolism in red deer fed either perennial ryegrass/white clover pasture or red clover.

Freudenberger, D.O. (1994) Digestion and rumen metabolism of red clover and perennial ryegrass/white clover forages by red deer.

This paper provides a comparison of digestion, rumen metabolism , rumen outflow rate and N retention of red deer fed red clover and perennial ryrgrass forages at the same level of DM intake

Hoskin, S.O. (1995) Digestion, rumen fermentation and chewing behaviour of red deer fed fresh chicory and perennial ryegrass.

The objectives of this study were to establish reaseons for the superior feeding value of chicory relative to perennial ryegrass
