Modelling for the estimation of the metabolic energy requirement of laying chickens
Experiments were conducted to assess the degree of accuracy with which the Metabolizable Energy (M.E.) requirements of laying chickens in production could be predicted. Three of the most recently published prediction models (Emmans 1974, McDonald 1978, and NRC 1981) were evaluated using production...
