Abstract

Some physiological indicators and adaptations of Saiga concerning their food are investigated; the review of literature on this problem is carried out. It is as a result suggested about high adaptive fodder possibility of Saiga. The assumption of other researchers that the pasture of agricultural animals improves fodder quality of vegetation for Saiga is confirmed, desertification doesn't influence negatively the number of Saiga, and the only reason of its decrease — increased extent of poaching.
