Summary

The true and apparent metabolizable energy (TME and AME) of a range of indigenous feedingstuffs and finished feeds were determined by rooster bioassay techniques adapted to suit a small nutrition laboratory.

The AME and TME of some common feedingstuffs were similar to the values published elsewhere. The AME of two finished feeds were similar to their zero-N corrected metabolizable energy values determined by the conventional total collection method. The mean ±S.E. endogenous and metabolic excreta energy per bird for 24 h was 70·4 ± 2·94 kJ.
