| Ten browses consumed by Sumatran rhinos in Malaysia contained less cellulose (14 to 23% of DM), but even higher lignin levels (8 to 24%) than black rhino browses, suggesting that south-east Asian forages may be less digestible than African browses. Total cell wall (NDF) averaged 50%; ADF, 27%. C... |

| 17 Sumatran rhinos were sequenced for 953 bases of 12S and 16S mitochondrial sequences. The 17 rhinos came from Sumatra (6), Borneo (4) and West Malaysia (7). Four haplotypes were identified. Only one haplotype was found in the samples from Borneo, one haplotype in samples from West Malaysia, ... |
