Dear researchers,
Some feed ingredients contain high energy value and others may contain moderately low energy content. In such conditions is it conceivable to make a substitution? If possible How? Weight by weight or calorie by calorie? I require your valuable comment.
Are you interessed in human nutrition or animals? Energy is never the only factor. Protein or amino acids are also to be considered.
Thank you very much for your reaction.
My concern is animal feed .Now a day animal nutritionist are searching for alternative non-conventional feeds to reduce animal- human feed competition. Incase, I need to substitute conventional feed ingredient by non conventional feed items. both feeds are an energy source and relatively the same protein content but there is slight variation in energy content. Is it possible to go?
what are the considerable element to substitute the conventional one by non-conventional.
Exchanges should be made on the basis of digestible or metabolizable energy content of the feedstuffs. Digestion, especially in young animals, is of utmost importance for the utilisation of nutrients by the animals. The same applies for proteins or amino acids.
