Research Abstract |
This study aims to quantify the repellent from the urine of the American wolf in order to build a system for a gene search of the animal instinct and for isolating repellent compounds. In Nara, deer is fed by a deer rice cracker. A very small amount of repellent (candidate material) was dropped on a deer rice cracker and fed to deer. How many pieces of deer rice crackers being eaten was statistically analyzed for the establishment of the assay system.
