Models to quantify excretion of dry matter, nitrogen, phosphorus and carbon in growing pigs fed regional diets

Table 4 In vivo estimation and calculated/predicted amount of excreted faeces DM, N, C and urine N of the experimental diets (DK, VN and TH)

DK Danish diet, VN Vietnamese diet, TH Thai diet.
¹Based on feed intake shown in Table 2 and values calculated from tables (Bach Knudsen [19]; Just et al. [25]; NRC [26]; Vils and Sloth [27]) shown in Table 3.
²Based on feed intake shown in Table 2 and equations from Vu et al. [29].
³Pooled standard error.
⁴Deviation, systematic difference between the experimental estimated value and that calculated using either table values or predicted values.
⁵RMSEP, root mean square error of prediction.
⁶Urine N calculated assuming a 50% utilization of the digested N.
