Metabolizable Energy Determination In Broiler Chickens, Andrew E. Dunaway
Metabolizable Energy Determination In Broiler Chickens, Andrew E. Dunaway
Theses and Dissertations--Animal and Food Sciences
Feed accounts for the highest cost associated in poultry production, with energy-containing feedstuffs being the most expensive portion of the cost of feeding. The increasing demand for poultry meat gives reason to determine accurate apparent metabolizable energy (AME) values for various feedstuff through measuring energy utilization in the birds. The adaptation length of birds fed an experimental diet may affect the determined AME value due to the diet matrix and physiochemical properties of the feedstuff. Therefore, the objective of this thesis was to evaluate a select group of energy-containing feedstuff with different diets and with factors such as coccidia challenge …
