Design of present study • 23 samples of Soybean meal • Proximate composition • TMEn with 10 SCWL Roosters
Variation in crude fat between samples is too low to be useful in prediction equation.
Metabolizable energy is negatively correlated with crude fiber.
Prediction Equation:Calculating ME of soybean meal from crude fiber TMEn = 3157 – 75 (crude fiber) (Dry matter basis), r2 = 0.61 Example: 88% Dry matter TMEn = 2778 – 66 (crude fiber) TMEn = 2778 – 66 (4.8) TMEn = 2461 kcal/kg (1119 kcal/lb)
Effect of overprocessing on the metabolizable energy of SBM Overprocessing has little effect on the ME of soybean meal
