ME( P), ME for Poultry can be calculated from Proximate analysis values using the equation given by Lodhi , Singh and Ichponani.J.Agric Sc.,Cambridge, 86,293-303.Available carbohydrates is assumed to be 80%of the found NFE value. The equation thus becomes:
ME ( P) =1.549+0.0102CP+0.0275EE+0.0148NFE-0.0034CF.
