An investigation of the distribution of the protein content of samples of corn, meat and bone meal, and soybean meal
Kirby, S.R. | Pesti, G.M. | Dorfman, J.H.
This study examines the critical assumption of a normal distribution for protein content in feedstuffs. Data were collected from broiler feed mills on the nutrient content of corn, meat and bone meal, and soybean meal. Tests of normality for protein within each feedstuff were performed by each of two methods: 1) the Shapiro-Wilk test (n < 50) or Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (n > 50); and 2) the D'Agostino-Pearson K2 test. Results indicate that protein is non-normally distributed in corn and in meat and bone meal, but protein is normally distributed in soybean meal.
