Nutritional composition, nitrogen-corrected true metabolizable energy, and standardized amino acid digestibility of palm kernel meal from several countries. [PDF]
Extensive nutritional analyses were conducted for palm kernel meal (PKM) sourced from 5 countries. Two precision-fed rooster trials were conducted to evaluate the nitrogen-corrected true metabolizable energy (TMEn) and standardized amino acid (AA ...

True Metabolizable Energy of Feather Meal
Abstract Feather meal has a higher energy content than indicated by U. S. tables of nutrient composition. Fifteen samples of hydrolyzed poultry feathers obtained from commercial channels were evaluated for proximate composition and true metabolizable energy (TMEN) content.

True Metabolizable Energy Corrected to Nitrogen Equilibrium
Abstract A study was conducted to examine the effects of the correction of excreta energy to nitrogen equilibrium in the determination of true metabolizable energy (TME). Roosters and laying hens were fed diets consisting of a standard layer ration blended with increasing amounts of dehulled soybean meal ranging from 0 to 100%.

A Preliminary Investigation of the Utilization of True Metabolizable Energy by Chicks
The change in carcass composition associated with intake of true metabolizable energy (TME) by young broiler chicks was investigated. The experiment comprised 17 treatments, 16 of which formed a 2 X 4 X 2 factorial design with six replications; the experimental unit was a pen of four male chicks.

Abstract The effect of excreta drying procedure on resulting true amino acid availability (TAAA), true metabolizable energy (TME), and nitrogen-corrected TME (TMEn) values was investigated using two high-protein feedstuffs. The TAAA and TME assays were based on those of Likuski and Dorrell (1978) and Sibbald (1976), respectively.

True Metabolizable Energy and Dry Matter Contents of Some Feedstuffs
Abstract True metabolizable energy (TME) values and ranges and dry matter contents of 133 samples of 14 feedstuffs are summarized. The TME value of full-fat canola meal was inversely related to the proportion of the feedstuff when fed alone or in varying proportions with wheat.
