This chapter reviews the evaluation of energy and protein value of ruminants’ feedstuffs. It emphasises the importance of accurately estimating feeding values to optimise production. The chapter discusses experimental methods and models used to evaluate the energy and protein values of feeds. The advantages and weaknesses of static empirical models and dynamic mechanistic models are discussed. The chapter emphasises the need to evaluate models using large data sets from productions studies to improve the accuracy of predictions of production responses.
