Comparison of true metabolisable energy and true amino acid availability between normal maize and quality protein maize (Shandan 17)
A precision-fed assay was conducted to determine true metabolisable energy and true amino acid digestibility in Chinese quality protein maize (QPM) compared with normal maize (NM). Thirty adult roosters, kept in individual cages, were made to fast for 48h and then tub-fed 50g QPM or NM per bird and...
