The apparent metabolizable energy (AME) and true metabolizable energy (TME) assays of poultry feed ingredients have traditionally been nitrogen (N) corrected to yield AMEn or TMEn. By correcting to zero…
The objective was to test the hypothesis that digestible energy (DE), metabolizable energy (ME), standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of amino acids (AA), and standardized total tract digestibility (STTD) of P…
The standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of amino acids (AAs) plus crude protein (CP), in addition to digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME) concentrations, was assessed through two experiments on…
The major cost of poultry feed is energy, accounting for more than 70% of the feed costs. Therefore, accurate formulation of feed energy with adequate ingredient energy values is paramount…
A total of 472 mixed parity sows were used in a study to evaluate the effects of supplying increased Lys and energy for the last 2 or 7 d before…
Soybean meal (SBM) fed to pigs contains a variety of antinutritional factors that impair the digestion of protein and utilization of nutrients. In the current study, a commercial SBM was…
…(SID-Lys) to metabolizable energy (ME) on the performance and carcass characteristics of growing-finishing pigs. In the first three experiments, graded levels of energy were fed to determine an optimum ME…
…to achieve a 120% SID Lys:ME ratio by either increasing Lys relative to energy or diluting energy relative to Lys. Within vaccine status, 195 mixed-sex pigs vac+ (35.2 ± 0.60…
Several digestibility studies were conducted with roosters to evaluate apparent metabolizable energy (AMEn) of 36 soybean meal (SBM) samples collected globally between 2008 and 2020 to support more reliable prediction…
