Chemical and physical characteristics of grains related to variability in energy and amino acid availability in poultry
Hughes, R. J; Choct, MPublished 1999-01-01Grains such as wheat and barley, combined with legumes and oilseed meals, provide not only the bulk of essential nutrients for commercial poultry production and reproduction, but are also the prime source of anti-nutritive ...Open AccessArticle -
Extrustion and expansion of cereal grains promotes variable energy yields in pigs, broiler chickens and laying hens
van Barneveld, R. J; Hughes, R. J; Choct, M; Tredrea, A. M; Nielsen, S. GPublished 2005-01-01Maximising digestible energy (DE) yield from cereals is fundamental to optimising efficiency in pig and poultry production systems. Given the potential interaction between grain structure and composition and DE (or AME) ...Open AccessConference paper -
Factors influencing the energy values of Australian cereal grains fed to broilers
Hughes, R. J; Choct, M; van Barneveld, R. JPublished 2001-01-01The apparent metabolisable energy (AME) values for selected samples of wheat, barley, triticale, oats and sorghum grown in Australia were determined in energy balance experiments with young broilers of both sexes. Ileal ...Open AccessConference paper -
In vitro fermentation of grain and enzymatic digestion of cereal starch
Bird, S. H; Rowe, J. B; Choct, M; Stachiw, S; Tyler, P; Thompson, R. DPublished 1999-01-01Fermentation of grain in the rumen and the digestion of starch in the small intestine are influenced by both animal and grain characteristics. Two assays were established to determine the importance of grain characteristics ...Open AccessConference paper -
The metabolisable energy value of sorghum and barley for broilers and layers
Choct, M; Hughes, R. J; Perez-Maldonado, R; van Barneveld, R. JPublished 2001-01-01A series of experiments were conducted to determine the apparent metabolisable energy (AME) values of 11 sorghum and 11 barley samples using broilers and layers. In addition the AME values of three selected samples were ...Open AccessConference paper -
Methods for the analysis of premium livestock grains
Petterson, D. S; Harris, D. J; Rayner, C. J; Blakeney, A. B; Choct, MPublished 1999-01-01The literature contains a wide range of reported values for the content of most chemical constituents of feed grains and meals. It is not possible to assess accurately how much of this variation is due to genotypic and ...Open AccessArticle -
Microstructure of grains as an indicator of nutritive value
Choct, M; Bird, S. H; Littlefield, P; Balogun, R; Rowe, J. BPublished 2001-01-01The gross chemical contents of grains explain most, but not all, of the variation in their nutritive value for livestock. It is believed that the microstructural features of grains may be responsible for this unexplained ...Open AccessConference paper -
Nutritive value of winter wheat for broiler chickens
Hughes, R. J; Acone, L; Zviedrans, P; Choct, MPublished 2000-01-01The nutritive value of Australian winter wheat varieties for broiler chickens was assessed in a series of conventional energy balance studies each of 7-days duration. Across all samples, the mean and standard deviation ...Open AccessConference paper -
Processing cereal grains for animal feeding
Rowe, J. B; Choct, M; Pethick, D. WPublished 1999-01-01This review concentrates on factors influencing the nutritive value of cereal grains for animals and strategies, in particular processing and storage, which may be used to optimise fermentation and digestion. The main focus ...Open AccessArticle
