Digestibility of Energy and Amino Acids in High-Oil Corn

Digestibility of Energy and Amino Acids in High-Oil Corn

Knowing the DE value in feedstuff can help to better formulate new diets. High-oil corn digestibility of amino acids and energy and DE content was characterized then related to chemical characteristics. Using gross energy or oil content, corn DE content can be predicted.  High-oil corn results in more amino acids and energy compared to regular corn, with a DE content 5% higher.
