Abstract
Increasing levels of casein were added to maize and sorghum basal diets to determine whether casein AME values were affected by its level of addition. The AME value of casein was independent of level of addition (134-314 g/kg). The mean value was 20.1 MJ/kg DM. Using the same assay system the AME of lupins was determined at three levels (100, 200 and 300 g/kg) of inclusion in a basal sorghum/casein diet. The AME was calculated to be 10.26 MJ/kg DM. There was no indication of anti-nutrients effecting energy metabolisabilty being present in the lupins.
