A modified method for nutrient digestibility determination is described. The method considers analytical chromium recovery in diets and feces, and fecal recovery of dietary chromium used as an indicator (marker) for determining nutrient digestibilities. This method should provide more reliable estimates of nutrient digestibility. Key words: Chromium, digestibility, indicator, minerals, sows
