The Use of Digestible Energy in the Evaluation of Feeds

G. P. Lofgreen1

University of California

Abstract

A method is presented by which it is possible to calculate a value closely approximating the total digestible nutrient content of feeds and rations from digestible energy. The method provides for a saving in time and in the number of chemical analyses which need be made.

It is pointed out that the use of the calorimetric method results in a more accurate estimate of the energy value of a feed or ration than the conventional method of determining total digestible nutrients.
