A Table of Estimates of Nutritive Values of Pic Feeds

Abstract

Glover and Dougall [1] have recently shown how average estimates of the nutritive value of feeds for pigs can be obtained from knowledge of the crude protein (CP) and crude fibre (CF) contained in the dry matter of feeds. These values are expressed in terms of digestible crude protein (DCP) and total digestible nutrients (TDN). The estimates of DCP and TDN corresponding to levels of crude protein between 2 per cent and 30 percent and of crude fibre between 0 and 15 percent of the dry matter are given in the accompanying Table I.
