I noticed big ambiguity in literature regarding AMEn content of Jowar poultry. Hence please suggest me exact AMEn value that could be taken poultry ration formulation.
The "real" AME value will always depend on the composition of your crop. So the most precise way is to analyse your raw ingredient for the main contributors like fat, protein and carbohydrates, but crude fibre and tannin might be also important as a negative factor.
Literature values are always average figures. Some more in this European Table. Note the impact of tannin content indicated there.
I agree with the views of C.A (kees) kan on real value of crop composition.
We were considering below values for Jowar (especially southern India)in feed formulation:
Crude protein-9%, Crude Fat-2%,fat- 3%, Metabolising Energy-3.2,calcium- 0.04 total Phos-0.3 and Avail phos-0.1
thanks Mr. C.A (kees) kan and Mr. Ranveer Batsa, for sharing information.
Mr Ranveer Batsa!! I do agree with the views of C.A (kees) kan but you mentioned ME as 3.2 what is the units for it? If it is MJ/kg, i feel it is too low.
