A two-stage in vitro system (IVDE) for estimating AMEn in poultry feeds was investigated. For 71 diets ranging from 2.2 to 3.4 kcal/g, the average AMEn was 2.889 kcal/g and the mean IVDE value was 3.005 kcal/g. From the 71 diets, 30 (42.2%) showed differences between AMEn and IVDE of less than 0.100 kcal/g and represented diets across the AMEn range of values. The statistical analysis of the data showed a standard error of the estimate (SEE) of 0.152 kcal/g for the 71 diets assayed. No clear differences in accuracy of AMEn among the diets, as related to the composition and proportion of ingredients, were observed. Thus, the IVDE method gave different AMEn for diets of similar composition. The application of the IVDE system to selected ingredients showed that the AMEn of corn was underestimated by the method. However the AMEn of roasted, extruded soybeans and oats was estimated accurately by the IVDE method. Other ingredients were greatly overestimated by the in vitro technique (soybean meal, corn gluten meal, and barley). The results of applying the IVDE method for estimating AMEn showed the limitations of this technique with regard to the universality of its application. Although the method was successful in estimating AMEn values of diets and ingredients, for many samples the IVDE technique did not give acceptable results.
