A Preliminary Investigation of the Utilization of True Metabolizable Energy by Chicks

Poultry Science, 1984
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.

Freeze Drying Versus Oven Drying of Excreta in True Metabolizable Energy, Nitrogen-Corrected True Metabolizable Energy, and True Amino Acid Availability Bioassays

Poultry Science, 1985
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

Poultry Science, 1984
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.

Evaluation of True Metabolizable Energy for Waterfowl

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1997
True metabolizable energy (TME) bioassays of waterfowl foods typically use birds not provided with grit, and foods are fed in an intact, natural state. To determine if the use of grit-free birds provides accurate estimates of the TME of intact foods, we fed corn (Zea mays), milo (Sorghum vulgare), wild millet (Echinochloa crusgalli), and largeseed ...

EFFECT OF DOUBLE FORCE FEEDING ON TRUE METABOLIZABLE ENERGY

Canadian Journal of Animal Science, 1982
Four feedingstuffs were assayed for true metabolizable energy (TME) using a conventional single feeding or two feedings followed by a reduced fecal collection time. There was no significant (P < 0.05) difference in the TME values for any of the ingredients due to feeding technique.

True Metabolizable Energy Estimates of Canada Goose Foods

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1998
We determined true metabolizable energy (TME) and digestibility of 8 foods commonly available to Canada geese (Branta canadensis) in order to provide managers with a better understanding of the nutritional value of these foods. True metabolizable energy estimates were highest for chufa tubers (Cyperus esculentus ; 16.86 kJ/g), corn (Zea mays; 16.32 kJ ...

Variation in True Metabolizable Energy Among Aquatic Vegetation and Ducks

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2020
ABSTRACTAvian diet quality is typically measured using true metabolizable energy (TMEN), which is a measure of assimilable energy of food items accounting for innate endogenous losses. Originally developed for use in the poultry industry, TMEN methods have been adapted to determine the value of natural foods consumed by waterfowl to parameterize ...

An Assessment of Quick Bioassays for Determining the True Metabolizable Energy and Apparent Metabolizable Energy of Poultry Feedstuffs

World's Poultry Science Journal, 1981
There are two methods in use currently for the rapid hiolopical determination of metabolizable energy content of feedstuffs for poultry. One method gives a 'true' metabolizable energy (TME) value (Sibhald 1976a), and the other an 'apparent' metabolizable energy (ME) value (Farrell 1978a, 1980)

True Metabolizable Energy Estimates for Wild and Game-Farm Mallards

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1992
Potential differences in metabolism of food energy by wild and game-farm mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) may confound assays for true metabolizable energy (TME) of foods fed to either strain of mallards. Consequently, we compared estimates of TME for a commercial diet between captive wild-strain and game-farm mallards.

The True Metabolizable Energy Bioassay as a Method for Estimating Bioavailable Energy in Poultry Feedingstuffs

World's Poultry Science Journal, 1985
Variations in bioassay methodology affect the AME and AMEn values of feedingstuffs but TMEn estimates describe feedingstuffs and are independent of assay conditions.
