Accuracy of Predictive Equations for Metabolizable Energy Compared to Energy Content of Foods for Dogs and Cats Estimated by In Vivo Methods in Brazil

In small animal nutrition, the caloric content of a diet is expressed as metabolizable energy (ME). The gold standard method for determining this variable is through feeding trials with the target species. However, the high cost and intricacy of this assay lead to the use of indirect estimation meth...
