Q

Why isn’t digestible energy the sum total energy of what a dog or cat can use?

A

Because the macro nutrient protein is harder to get energy from- need to deaminate the amino acid (remove N = urea), rest can be used. This process requires energy.

Q

When know the % of each component what do you do next to work out the metabolisable energy.
What unit is this ME per?

A

You multiple the % by the aformentioned modified atwater factors:
P = 3.5
C = 3.5
F = 8.5 (most energy dense macronutrient)
BECAUSE % = PER 100g food!!!!
