Table 6.

The appropiate amino acid ratio of Lysine (Lys), Methionine (Met), and Threonine (Thr) based on the nitrogen retention (NR) of heifers aged seven to nine months old, fed corn–soybean meal-based TMRs.

Items 1 S P C R
Lys 0.61 1.00 69.99 100.00
Met 0.57 0.98 22.36 31.95
Thr 0.26 0.79 39.78 56.84

1 S(Slop) = (1-NR)/(1-AAI); P(proportion) = [(1-NR) + S × AAI]/S; C (concentration) = AAI × P; R (ratio) = AA/Lys.
