Predictive equations for dietary energy are improved when independently developed for dry and wet food which could benefit both the pet and the environment

IntroductionMeasuring energy availability through metabolizable energy feeding studies is the “gold standard” for establishing metabolizable energy concentration. However, predictive equations are often used to estimate metabolizable energy in dog and cat pet foods. The goal of this work was to eval...
