Poster design and presentation were very good. I question the validity of the study – the abstract discusses how moose don’t do well in captivity, and comparing a week of nutrition pellets to 2 days of leaves with different levels of tannins wouldn’t seem to mimic the situation in the wild at all. This makes it difficult to determine the relevance of the study. I’m also not sure that you’d see changes in the micro biome after 2 days. However, the student seemed aware of these limitations and talked about future research.
