Using Gross Energy Improves Metabolizable Energy Predictive Equations for Pet Foods Whereas Undigested Protein and Fiber Content Predict Stool Quality
Because animal studies are labor intensive, predictive equations are used extensively for calculating metabolizable energy (ME) concentrations of dog and cat pet foods. The objective of this retrospective review of digestibility studies, which were conducted over a 7-year period and based upon Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) feeding protocols, was to compare the accuracy ...
متن کاملStudies on the energy content of pigeon feeds I. Determination of digestibility and metabolizable energy content.
The digestibility coefficient and metabolizable energy (ME) content of the most important pigeon feeds (corn, wheat, barley, red and white millet, sorghum, canary seed, peas, lentils, sunflower, and hemp) were determined. The experiment was carried out using 10 adult male homing pigeons. All feeds were fed alone, in a whole-grain form, ad libitum. Drinking water and grit were offered to the bir...
متن کاملTrue Metabolizable Energy of American Black Duck Foods
Understanding the true metabolizable energy (TME) of foods is critical to estimating the energetic carrying capacity of landscapes for migrating and wintering waterfowl.We estimated gross energy, nutrient composition, and TMEN (TME corrected for zero nitrogen balance) for 7 foods that are commonly found in the diet of American black duck (Anas rubripes) and other waterfowl wintering along the A...
متن کاملdetermination metabolizable energy content and nutritive value of pomegranate peel and pulp, using adult cockerels
the present experiment was conducted to determine metabolizable energy of pomegranate peel and pulp by adult cockerels. the pomegranate peel and pulp samples were gathered from three industries. this study had two experiments. each experiment was done in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 4 replicate (1 cockerel each). the cockerels fed conventional addition method (cam). the ...
متن کاملMeasurement and Development of Prediction Models for Metabolizable Energy Contents of Corn Samples Collected from Poultry Feed Factories in Iran using Regression Equations
The purpose of this study was to determine the contents of chemical compositions, apparent metabolizable energy (AME), apparent metabolizable energy corrected for nitrogen (AMEn), true metabolizable energy (TME), true metabolizable energy corrected for nitrogen (TMEn), in corn samples, as well as to predict diferrent energy contents of corn samples given their chemical components. A total...
