Regulation 2
SCHEDULE 9Method of Calculating the Energy Value of Compound Feeds
The energy value of compound poultry, ruminant and pig feeds shall be calculated in accordance with the formulae set out below on the basis of the percentages of certain analytical components of the feed. After application of these formulae, the results shall be given to one decimal place.
Poultry Feeds: megajoules (MJ) of metabolisable energy (ME) nitrogen corrected per kilogram of compound feed.
MJ of ME/Kg of feed=0.1551 × % Crude Protein() + 0.3431 × % oil() + 0.1669 × % Starch() + 0.1301 × % total Sugar (expressed as sucrose)().
Ruminant Feeds: megajoules (MJ) of metabolisable energy (ME) per kilogram of dry matter in the compound feed.
MJ of ME/kg of dry matter = 0.14 × % Neutral detergent Cellulase plus Gamanase and Amylase Digestibility() + 0.25 × % Oil()
Pig Feeds: megajoules (MJ) of digestible energy (DE) per kilogram of dry matter in the compound feed.
MJ of DE/kg of dry matter = 17.47 + 0.079 × % Crude Protein() + 0.158 × % Oil() -0.331 × % Ash() 0.140 Neutral Detergent plus Amylase Fibre().
N.B. Where the results of analysis are to be expressed on a dry matter basis, this may be achieved by analysing either the dried material, or fresh material and correcting for the moisture content.
