Energy value of cereal grains for broiler chickens. III. Suitability of NIR for predicting AME of wheat for diet formulation

Context Cereal grains vary widely in energy content, which can result in poor performance of chickens when wrongly assumed apparent metabolisable energy (AME) values are used in diet formulation. Aims To evaluate the suitability of using near-infrared spectrometry (NIR) calibrati...
