Composition is not nutrition
Two ingredients with the same proximate analysis can perform very differently. Processing intensity, anti-nutritional factors, fibre matrix and particle size all move digestibility while leaving the proximate profile unchanged.
Practical proxies for buyers
Full digestibility trials are impractical per shipment. Buyers use proxies: protein dispersibility index and urease for soy products, pepsin digestibility for animal proteins, reactive lysine for heat-processed proteins, and starch gelatinisation for extruded materials.

자주 묻는 질문
Can digestibility be written into a purchase contract?
Directly, rarely. In practice buyers contract the measurable proxies — urease activity, KOH solubility, pepsin digestibility, reactive lysine — which correlate with digestibility and can be verified on a sample.

The amino-acid profile — and above all digestible lysine, methionine, threonine and tryptophan — is what protein ingredients are actually bought for in modern formulation.
Particle size distribution governs mixing homogeneity, pellet quality, digestive efficiency and segregation risk, and is specified as a geometric mean diameter with a distribution, not a single sieve figure.
Crude protein is nitrogen content multiplied by a conversion factor (usually 6.25); it estimates total protein but says nothing about amino-acid quality or digestibility.
