I am reviewing literature regarding the nutrient subsidies by carnivores (scavengers especially) in the ecosystem but struggling to find any resources on this. So I was wondering if there is a database on what is the percent contribution of nutrients like carbon, sodium, nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium etc. in the scat of various carnivores?

Scat DNA Metabarcoding: This approach is increasingly being used to track the feeding ecology of elusive wildlife species2. It has greatly increased the resolution and detection success of prey items contained in scats when compared with other classical methods2. Advanced Method to Assess the Diet of Free-Ranging Large Carnivores: This method assesses the diet of free-ranging carnivores and is often determined from prey remains in scats.
Scat Sampling for Carnivore Diet Analysis: A study on wolves in the Alps used scat sampling methods to accurately quantify the diets of predators1. This method is noninvasive and compatible with the endangered status of many carnivores in different countries1.
