The bacterial microbiota in the ceca of Capercaillie ( Tetrao urogallus) differs between wild and captive birds

The diet of wild capercaillie differs strongly between seasons. Particularly during winter, when energy demands are high and the birds forage solely on coniferous needles, microbial fermentations in the ceca are considered to contribute significantly to the energy requirement and to the detoxificati...
