This experiment was performed to compare the techniques of the metabolizable energy determination and to, examine the problems associated with metabolizable energy determination of poultry feedingstuffs. The feedingstuffs evaluated herein, were corn, sorghum, barley. fish meal and soybean meal The results obtained were as followings : 1. When comparing AME and AMEn values of five feedingstuffs(measured) by Total Collection ana Index Methods there was no significant difference (P＞.05) between two methods except fish meal. 2. The AME$_{F}$ values of feedingstuffs were not different (P＞.05) from AME values. which implied that bioassay of AME$_{F}$ be applicable to rapid measure AME value of feedingstuffs for poultry and the problems connecting to AME$_{F}$ determination were discussed. 3. The AME$_{FC}$ and TME values of corn, sorghum and barley were significantly higher (P＜.05) than AME and AME$_{F}$ values but those of fish meal and soybean meal were similar or lower than AME and AME$_{F}$ values. This fact was indicative that the techniques measuring AME$_{FC}$ and TME has some depressing factors when fish meal and soybean meal were determined. 4. Comparing of TME, AME$_{FC}$ and T-AME values tile TME values of corn sorghum and barley were significantly higher(P＜.05) than AME$_{FC}$ and T- AME values. But that of fish meal and soybean meal was much lower(P＜ .05)comparing with AME$_{FC}$ and T-AME values. According]y, it night be concluded that the relationship among the values of TME. AME$_{FC}$ and T-AME was shown great variation according to the feedingstuffs, especially in the protein diets.
