Abstract
A method is presented for the estimation of the total digestible nutrient (TDN) content of feeds from the digestibility of the organic matter. The TDN values obtained in 50 digestion trials by the suggested method agreed very closely with those determined in the conventional manner. The simplicity and time-saving features of the method are its important advantages.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
