 Baer thinks that the discrepancy happens because of the indigestible fiber in the nut cell walls traps the fat.

So how can a bit of indigestible starch do all this? Resistant starch is a very good substrate for fermentation Higgins told Livescience.

and offal like the trim from hides (an indigestible but harmless filler). Many dry and wet dog pet foods also contain rice wheat and other plants not to mention added vitamins and minerals.

Back in a lab the researchers looked for signs of claws hoofs and hair and other indigestible parts of unlucky prey in the scat.

"The making of cheese would have allowed them to get around the indigestibility of milk without getting ill,

dried grasses and other indigestible plant matter could greatly improve the efficiency of converting waste biomass to fuel.

and fruits that are poisonous or indigestible to most animals; think of the eucalyptus of Australia or the bamboo forests of China.

This weird possibility is courtesy of some scientists at Virginia Tech who have transformed cellulose a mostly indigestible polymer into helpful indispensable starch.

--which are unpalatable or indigestible to smaller primates. Many primates easily consume their'five a day'often within a single hour of active foraging.

When birds and small mammals feed on the fruit they subsequently excrete the indigestible seeds elsewhere

People eat cellulose in dietary fiber the indigestible material in fruits and vegetables. Cows horses and termites can digest the cellulose in grass hay and wood.

Unfortunately 50 to 70 percent of the phosphorus in grain is in the form of phytic acid a compound indigestible by pigs.
