Extract

With changes over time in the processing and production of by-products, it is important that feed databases are continually revised and updated. It is also important to establish what variation exists between samples of the same feedstuff. The objective of this experiment was to measure the mean digestibility of 6 by-product feedstuffs and to determine the variation within each of the by-products.
