Question

Digestion trails is one of the measurements of feed and nutrients utilization. Discuss how this trail is conducted.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Digestion trials are done for the estimation of the total amount of a particular nutrient absorbed from the digestive tract or gastrointestinal tract. These trials are performed to detect the digestibility for various feed components such as general nutrient class or a particular component of the class. These two measurements evidently represent true digestibility.  It comprises endogenous sources of the desired nutrient that include microbes, enzymes, and intestinal cells. Such apparent digestibility is particularly affected by endogenous materials.
