PRECHEM

"Improvement of prediction equations based on chemical parameters, and research of new chemical parameters"

RESPONSIBLE OF SUBTASK:  R. Carabaņo (UPM)

PARTICIPANTS: INRA, CLO, ISAL, UPADU, UPM and UPV

ACTIVITIES:

The statistical approach for the development of equations predicting the nutritive value of feeds and feedstuffs is matter of discussion.
The data set of chemical composition and nutritive value stored in the SABA will be used for the calculation of predictive equations.
Harmonisation of chemical analyses and the selection of other chemical variables to be included in the predictive equations are performed in this sub-task. Two collaborative studies for harmonising chemical analyses are in progress. An internal document (Haproch) with the guidelines for chemical analyses was prepared.
