Formula for Total Digestible Nutrients?

TDN is determined by multiplying the digestion coefficient for organic matter, D, by a conversion factor calculated by the formula: F = M ( 100 + 0.000125 E ) where M is the per cent organic matter in the dry matter of the feed and E is the ether extract as per cent of the organic matter.

How do you calculate TDN in feed?

The TDN value represents utilizable energy content of a feedstuff and it is calculated as the sum of digestible carbohydrate + 2.25 × digestible lipid + digestible protein.

What is the total digestible nutrients?

Total Digestible Nutrients (TDN): The sum of the digestible fiber, protein, lipid, and carbohydrate components of a feedstuff or diet. TDN is directly related to digestible energy and is often calculated based on ADF.
