5. Equations proposed to estimate milk energy content or milk energy values. 8% lactose) BF: butterfat content, g/kg; FAT: butterfat content, g/litre; DIM: number of days of lactation. 4). 4). 4). 4). 1) and on the system considered. AFRC, CSIRO and INRA use the same values for cattle and sheep. As stated before, AFRC and INRA estimate these efficiencies with equations that use the metabolizability (qm) of the diet as the independent variable. CSIRO uses M/D, in order to account for the higher efficiency of ME utilization observed for high-quality diets (high qm and M/D) compared with lowquality ones (ARC, 1980).
