Comments

  • Also known as Jones' factors. https://www.ars.usda.gov/ARSUserFiles/80400525/Data/Classics/cir183.pdf. A commonly used value for the component_protein_from_nitrogen_conversion_factor is 6.25 based on the assumptions that all proteins have a nitrogen content of 16%, and that all nitrogen is derived from protein. It should be noted that these assumptions might not always hold.
