Key concepts Flashcards
GE=
FE- DE
GE sample =
HE x (T2-T1) / sample wt
HE =
GE x sample wt / (T2-T1)
DE =
GE - FE
ME=
DE- GE - FE - UE
ME coefficient =
ME/GE
NE =
ME - HI
NE =
GE- FE - UE - HI
NE coefficient =
NE/GE
TDN =
DCP + DCF + DNFE + 2.25(DEE)
Apparent fecal or ileal digestibility
AA intake - AA feces / AA intake
True ileal digestibility
AA intake - (AA ileum - AA endogenous) / AA intake
% nutrient =
wt of residue / wt of sample x 100
NFE =
100 - proximate analysis fractions
100 - (%CP + %EE + %CF + %Ash + %H2O)
As fed -> DM basis
100 - moisture % = %DM
nutrient x 100 / DM %
As fed -> DM basis
100 - moisture % = DM %
nutrient x DM % / 100
DM digestibility =
(DM intake - DM output) / DM intake
indicator DM digestibility =
(indicator in feed) / (indicator in feces) X 100
specific nutrient digestibility
100 - (%indicator in feed x % nutrient in feces) / (%indicator in feces x % nutrient in feed)
True digestibility =
nutrient intake - (nutrient output - nutrient of endogenous origin) / nutrient intake
NDF digestibility
100 - (marker in feed x feces NDF) / (marker in feces x feed NDF)
IVDMD =
100 x [initial dry sample wt - residue - blank ] / initial dry sample wt
