On obtient les matières azotées totales (MAT) en multipliant la teneur en azote organique de l'aliment [...] par le coefficient 6,25 (c'est-à-dire 100/16). «On admet donc par là que toutes les matières azotées ainsi dosées contiennent 16 % d'azote, taux d'azote des protides. Ceci n'est pas très exact, mais commode. MAT = N total x 6,25. En fait les matières azotées totales comprennent : - les matières protéiques (protéines, polypeptides, acides aminés libres), - les matières non protéiques (amides, sels ammoniacaux)». 4, record 1, French, - prot%C3%A9ine%20brute
