Abstract
Mature, nonlaying, female Embden geese were used to determine the effect of level of intake on the apparent and true metabolizable energy (AME and TME) of corn, wheat, and oats. The AME values showed a significant quadratic increase as level of intake increased; however, TME values showed a decreasing trend as input levels increased from 10 to 70 g. In the second experiment, corn, wheat, oats, and rice hulls were determined to have similar and rapid passage rates through the goose. The gross energy and proximate composition of 18 feedstuffs along with corresponding AME and TME values for geese are reported.
