Abstract
Data obtained from 312 digestion experiments in which digestible energy and total digestible nutrients were experimentally determined revealed that one pound of total digestible nutrients equals 2000 Calories of digestible energy. This value applied to sheep and cattle on roughage and to cattle on mixed rations.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
