The most attractive fecal matter to the mature males in the lateral passage was that taken from lactating females and mature males (21.53, 21.86 second / visit) respectively ,while the least effective fecal sample was that taken from estrus and pregnant females (8.16, 8.16 second / visit) respectively.
In addition the most attractive fecal matter to the mature females was that taken from adult males (34.86 second / visit) while the least attractive fecal sample to the mature females was that taken from pregnant and estrus females (1.00, 3.66 second / visit) respectively.
