Samples of 35 diets were obtained from five different regions of Canada. The true metabolizable energy (TME) of these diets was measured with mature White Leghorn cockerels. The N-corrected apparent metabolizable energy (MEn) values, calculated from average analysis figures, were supplied by the feed manufacturers.

Effect of increasing levels of apparent metabolizable energy on laying hens in barn system. [PDF]
This experiment was to investigate the effect of increasing levels of apparent metabolizable energy (AMEn) on the laying performance, egg quality, blood parameters, blood biochemistry, intestinal morphology, and apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of energy and nutrients in diets fed to laying hens.A total of three-hundred twenty 33-week-old Hy ...

Evaluation of Apparent Metabolizable Energy and Apparent Ileal Amino Acid Digestibility of Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) in Broiler Chickens and Laying Hens. [PDF]
Our study objective was to determine the apparent metabolizable energy (AME) and apparent ileal amino acid digestibility (AIAAD) of spirulina fed to broiler chickens and laying hens using the difference method. In both experiments, birds were either fed corn-soybean meal basal diets, containing no spirulina and formulated to provide the nutrient ...

Age-Related Variations in the Apparent Metabolizable Energy of Meat and Bone Meal for Broilers. [PDF]
The influence of broiler age on the apparent metabolizable energy (AME) and nitrogen-corrected AME (AMEn) of meat and bone meal (MBM) was investigated. A corn–soy basal diet and an experimental diet wherein 300 g/kg of the basal diet was replaced (w/w) with MBM were developed.
