ABSTRACT
The content of digestible (DE) and metabolizable (ME) energy was determined in 29 pig diets by in vivo and in vitro procedures. Growing, castrated males were used for the in vivo balance study. The DE and ME values of diets estimated in vivo and in vitro were similar. The correlation coefficients for DE and ME were 0.802 and 0.772, respectively. Predicting the energy value of pig diets with satisfactory precision seems possible using the in vitro technique.
