6) and BM RUR samples after <strong>the</strong> 16 h ruminal incubation (n = 6) were crop-intubated<br />

to cecectomized roosters to obtain in vivo AA and RUP-AA digestibility estimates. The<br />

average AA and RUP-AA digestibility estimates for <strong>the</strong> 6 BM samples are presented in<br />

Table 2.<br />

Key observations from Table 2<br />

(column labeled rooster):<br />

Amino acids in all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> in <strong>the</strong> intact<br />

and RUR BM samples were highly<br />

digestible in <strong>the</strong> cecectomized<br />

roosters.<br />

There was little variation in AA and<br />

RUP-AA digestibility among <strong>the</strong> BM<br />

samples evaluated.<br />

Digestibility <strong>of</strong> AA in <strong>the</strong> intact feeds<br />

was similar to digestibility <strong>of</strong> RUP-AA<br />

in <strong>the</strong> RUR.<br />

Modified Three-Step Procedure<br />

The intact and RUR BM samples<br />

were also analyzed via <strong>the</strong> modified<br />

three-step procedure (modified TSP) <strong>of</strong><br />

Gargallo et al. (2006), and <strong>the</strong> in vitro AA<br />

and RUP-AA digestibility estimates are<br />

presented in Table 2. The AA and RUP-<br />

AA digestibility estimates obtained using<br />

<strong>the</strong> modified TSP were lower than<br />

estimates from <strong>the</strong> cecectomized<br />

roosters. Estimates <strong>of</strong> RUP digestibility <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> BM samples obtained using <strong>the</strong><br />

original TSP <strong>of</strong> Calsamiglia and Stern<br />

(1995) are also presented in Table 2.<br />

These estimates were lower than RUPtotal<br />

AA digestibility measured in<br />

cecectomized roosters.<br />

Linear regression analysis was used<br />

to examine <strong>the</strong> relationship between AA<br />

and RUP-AA digestibility <strong>of</strong> BM samples<br />
