Quality Appraisal of Feed Obtained by Production Units and Recommendations on how to use it in Animal Nutrition
Abstract
Experiments were carried out on broiler chickens separated into three groups. Chickens were fed with combined fodder having a different protein source: animal (meat meal) and vegetable (soybean grit and green peas meal). Based on laboratory data and those obtained in digestibility experiments, the nutritional value was estimated - expressed in kg dry matter in PD (g) = protein digestion, GE (gross Kcal) = gross energy, DE = (kcal digestible) = digestible energy, N.U. = oat nutritive unit. No significant differences were found between the three fodder. It is recommended to extend the research to an industrial production environment.
