Total Digestible Nutrients (TDN) and Metabolized Energy (ME) are the typical methods used to calculate livestock feed demands and nutritional value of feed in Australia, Europe and the US. I am trying to find out if that is also the case in China but I couldn’t find any English literature on the topic. Are there any official guidelines for nutrient requirements of livestock in China and if so which methods are used to calculate them?
Thank you, Dibakar.
I am specifically looking for literature on the methods livestock producers in China use to calculate the nutritional requirements of sheep and cattle and the nutritional value of feed (such as TDN, ME and crude protein content). Maybe someone working in China has more information on this topic? thanks in advance.
