BW: body weight.

TDI: total daily intake; the total amount of feed given to animal on a daily basis, calculated as dry matter (a.k.a. feed intake).

IR%: inclusion rate; the percentage of a feed material incorporated in a standard diet or ration.

NEP level: the amount of a newly expressed protein analytically determined in raw feed materials, or determined by conversion factor in derived or processed feed materials.

DDI: daily dietary intake; the total amount of a feed material given to animal on a daily basis, calculated as dry matter.

DDE (daily dietary exposure): the total amount of a newly expressed protein given to animal on a daily basis.
