"% as fed" vs. Dry matter

In this chart, we can see the protein digestibility of different ingredients.
Corn, used as a source of energy, has around 8% of protein, and only 74.4% of that protein is digestible. Soybean meal, which has 42% of protein, has a digestibility of 79.3%. Animal protein sources such as meat and bone meal and feather meal, have lower digestibility, as the protein has a complex fibrous structure.

Paola Giardina (asker) Jun 15, 2021:
Muchas gracias a todos por sus aportes Fueron de mucha ayuda.
Taña Dalglish Jun 13, 2021:
Definition "As fed represents the feed or forage as it is fed to the animal including the moisture content. While as fed is an accurate representation of the feed being offered, it does not provide a good indication of the nutrient composition of the non-water feed components, particularly when the moisture content is high." Asker, is there more context that would help those prepared to assist to determine the best option?
O G V Jun 13, 2021:
% as fed vs. Dry matter hum... no sale en la pregunta...
a partir de la referencia que da Taña quiero interpretar:
porcentaje del alimento fresco (% [considerado] "como alimentado")
pero sin tenerlo muy claro

base fresca

Base fresca es el alimento "tal cual ofrecido" o sea con un contenido de humedad que puede ser muy variable. Cuando se expresa el contenido de nutrientes en base seca o materia seca, el agua ha sido removida por secado y por lo tanto permite comparar la cantidad de nutrientes de diferentes alimentos.

Las explicaciones de Stuart and Aida y Taña son correctas.

Paola, el título sería % en base fresca vs materia seca

% absoluto (de humedad)

We nearly always pay for feeds based on an ‘as fed’ basis which includes the moisture.

Dry Matter is the value for a nutrient assuming all moisture is removed. Dry matter is mostly used by veterinarians because it yields specific information on a more uniform basis. As Fed would be the value for a nutrient without removing the moisture.

You’ve heard that having your hay or pasture analyzed is critical to determining how well you’re meeting your horse’s daily nutrient needs. You diligently spent time collecting your sample to ensure that it is representative, *you sent it off to the lab, and now you’ve received your results. The page is full of numbers expressed as percentages, parts per million (ppm), grams/lb., etc. Additionally, there are at least two columns of numbers – one labeled “As Fed or As Sampled” and the other “Dry Matter or DM basis”.

Most people are apt to look at the “As Fed” fed column reasoning that “I’m feeding my horse, thus the ‘as fed’ values are the ones that I want”. In reality, the numbers in the “DM column” are of the greatest value.

As fed = absolut

o también

as sampled - tal cual como es

Yo propondría porcentaje absoluto de humedad

% como alimentado

... los alimentos es comúnmente expresada como porcentaje de materia seca (%​MS) en lugar de porcentaje del alimento fresco ** (% "como alimentado")** porque:.

La materia seca del alimento contiene todos los nutrientes (excepto agua) requeridos por la vaca. La cantidad de agua en los alimentos es en general de poca importancia. Las vacas regulan su consumo de agua aparte de la materia seca y deben tener acceso a agua fresca y limpia todo el día. La composición nutricional de los alimentos es comúnmente expresada como porcentaje de materia seca (%MS) en lugar de porcentaje del alimento fresco (% "como alimentado") porque:

* La cantidad de agua en los alimentos es muy variable y el valor nutritivo es más fácilmente comparado cuando se expresa en base a materia seca.
* La concentración de nutriente en el alimento puede ser directamente comparada a la concentración requerida en la dieta.

Gracias Mónica. I am a little confused on seeing the answer proposed, which may very well be valid, but ...
