Description
Summary:	An abstract of a study by Esteves et al aiming to fit prediction equations of the metabolizable energy (ME) from the chemical composition of corn obtained from different harvests for piglets is presented. The greater variation of the ME in the second crop justified the fit of equations for the different crops or that corn from both crops was used to fit these equations. The equations fitted to predict ME presented determination coefficients that demand the validation of these equations.
