I don't think that the average person understands this. They assume it increases the total.

I think you are correct. The way concept is described in literature does not help. Need to relate it to some process done in kitchen where something is concentrated on stove by boiling off. The boiling off of water is an analogy for reducing the feed's caloric content acted upon by fermentation removing calories while caramalization approximates transformations of intact plant proteins into easier to assimilate free amino acids.

Yes I have found they page ebook versions different from the hardbooks.
With ebooks you can easily search the word and find the page.

Looks like this one is also different because mine is the second edition 2015. This one is from 1994

The fermented info was in the wrong book and it's not very helpful, but I will post it anyway.

Found this paper all about fermented feeds and the benefits they offer to pigs and chickens. There's information about protein and amino acids.
