The aim of this study was to determine the metabolic response in giant pandas (Ailuropoda
melanoleuca) to the consumption of certain parts of bamboo above ground growth. Giant
pandas were provisioned with three species of bamboo: Phyllostachys bissetii, of which they
only consume the culm (culm group); Bashania fargesii, of which they only consume the
leaves (leaf group); and Qiongzhuea opienensis, of which they only consume the shoots
(shoot group). The “culm” group absorbed the highest amount of calories and fiber, but was …
