Abstract
Objective: The objectives were to develop prediction equations for digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME) of feed ingredients and diets for pigs based on chemical composition and to evaluate the accuracy of the equations using <i>in vivo</i> data.Methods: A total of 734 data points from 81 experiments were employed to develop prediction equations for DE and ME in feed ingredients and diets. The CORR procedure of SAS was used to determine correlation coefficients between chemical components and energy concentrations and the REG procedure was used to generate prediction equations. Developed equations were tested for the accuracy according to the regression analysis using <i>in vivo</i> data.Results: The DE and ME in feed ingredients and diets were most negatively correlated with acid detergent fiber or neutral detergent fiber (NDF; r = –0.46 to r = –0.67; p<0.05). Three prediction equations for feed ingredients reflected <i>in vivo</i> data well as follows: DE = 728+0.76×gross energy (GE)–25.18×NDF (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.64); ME = 965+0.66×GE–24.62×NDF (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.60); ME = 1,133+0.65×GE–29.05×ash–23.17×NDF (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.67).Conclusion: In conclusion, the equations suggested in the current study would predict energy concentration in feed ingredients and diets.
