A study of data obtained from 312 digestion experiments in which both digestible energy and total digestible nutrients were experimentally determined revealed that one pound of total digestible nutrients is equivalent of 2000 Calories of digestible energy. This value was found to apply to sheep and cattle on roughage alone and to cattle on mixed rations.
