Schedule 1, paragraph 11

SCHEDULE 9 METHOD OF CALCULATING THE ENERGY VALUE OF COMPOUND POULTRY FEEDS

The energy value of compound poultry feed shall be calculated in accordance with the formula set out below on the basis of the percentages of certain analytical components of the feed. This value is to be expressed in 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 × % fat(4) + 0.1669 × % starch(5) + 0.1301 × % total sugar (expressed as sucrose).

After application of the above formula, the result shall be given to one decimal place.

(5)

Determined by method 30a (Polarimetric Method) of the methods of analysis specified in Schedule 2 to the Feeding Stuffs (Sampling and Analysis) Regulations 1982.
