Proximate analysis of feeds (Chemical analysis of the
feed)
Also known as Wendee system as much
of the of the early animal nutrition research were carried at Weende. The principal
analysis of the proximate analysis is to separate the feed components into different
groups or fractions such as water, Crude protein, Crude fiber, Ether extract in
accordance with the feeding value. Feed comprises the organic and inorganic components.
Organic compounds include Carbohydrate, protein, fat, oils, NFE and other nitrogenous
compounds. While the inorganic compounds include ash which contains most minerals.
The proximate analysis of the feed provides no indication about the types of
minerals present in the given feedstuff.
