Although termites are uricotelic, feces of a subterranean termite, Reticulitermes flavipes Kollar, were reported to have only trace amounts of uric acid. |
Chickens are uricotelic and excrete uric acid as the end product of dietary protein metabolism. |
The classification of animals as amoniotelic, ureotelic, and uricotelic is based exclusively on the predominance of nitrogenated metabolic compounds in excreta. |
