59 Conclusions Protein Dietary CP is the main determinant of across-species CP digestibility. Similar levels of endogenous/metabolic protein losses between herbivores and carnivores. Lower true protein digestibility in herbivores possibly linked to higher indigestible N levels in plant-based diets. No evident difference between herbivore digestion types.

71 Conclusions Fat Dietary EE is the main determinant of across-species EE digestibility. Higher levels of endogenous/metabolic lipid losses in herbivores compared to carnivores. No evident difference between herbivore digestion types with respect to metabolic losses. Lower true EE digestibility in foregut fermenting herbivores possibly linked to foregut lipid production and hydrogenation.

72 What does the literature say?

73 What does the literature say? no difference in true protein digestibility between trophic guilds

74 What does the literature say? no difference in true protein digestibility between trophic guilds no difference in true protein/fat digestion between foregutfermenting peccaries and hindgut-fermenting pigs

75 What does the literature say? no difference in true protein digestibility between trophic guilds no difference in true protein/fat digestion between foregutfermenting peccaries and hindgut-fermenting pigs no difference in metabolic faecal nitrogen between different herbivore digestion types

76 What does the literature say? no difference in true protein digestibility between trophic guilds no difference in true protein/fat digestion between foregutfermenting peccaries and hindgut-fermenting pigs no difference in metabolic faecal nitrogen between different herbivore digestion types no difference in true protein/fat digestibility between coprophagic rodents/rabbits and horses

77 Interpretation Protein & Fat Similar endogenous/metabolic losses of N occur across the trophic guilds, which are - excreted as N-substances in carnivores and not so much as microbial matter - bound matter into microbial matter that includes also lipids in herbivores hence their higher endogenous lipid losses.

78 Final Conclusion Metabolic losses, as measured by CP and EE, do not differ between herbivore digestive strategies. Digestive anatomy and physiology do not represent constraints with respect to CP and EE digestion, which could evolve to similar efficiencies across mammals. Adaptations to special circumstances regarding protein or fat are more likely for metabolism/ requirements, not for digestion. Interpretation of apparent digestibility data for CP and EE always in relation to their dietary content.
