Prediction of metabolisable energy concentration of fresh grass – which digestibility variable is better, organic matter or energy?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 November 2017
Extract
Accurate prediction of the ME concentration of fresh grass is vital in developing appropriate feeding regimes for grazing animals. While AFRC (1993) proposed an equation to calculate grass ME concentration from digestible OM in total DM (DOMD), the accuracy of this approach has been questioned (Yan and Agnew, 2004). The objective of the present study was to develop a prediction method for ME concentration of fresh grass from nutrient digestibility.
