Metabolisable energy prediction

Metabolisable energy (ME) content is predicted using DE content and certain characteristics concerning the composition of the feedstuff linked to energy losses in the form of gas and urine. The transformation equations are specific for each type of animal. In the case of poultry, ME is measured directly since energy losses in faeces and urine cannot easily be separated. [Pg.24]

Metabolisable energy (ME) can be predicted from digestible energy using regression equations between the ME/DE ratio and the chemical composition of the feed materials. These equations were established by INRA, using a data file of 79 results. [Pg.60]

The metabolisable energy contents of silages are highly variable and difficult to predict satisfactorily by laboratory means. Currently, near-infrared reflectance appears to be the best single predictor. [Pg.519]
