Table 4. Formula that calculate lysine content of soybean meal and corn from crude protein content

Ingredient Linear regression equation Lysine/% CP content1) Standard error Correlation coefficient
Dehulled soybean meal (N = 175) Y = 0.264 + 0.60(X) 0.175 0.57
Corn (N = 95) Y = 0.049 + 0.026(X) 0.018 0.66
Y = A + BX: where Y = % amino acid, A = intercept, B = slope, X = % CP content.
