Extrustion and expansion of cereal grains promotes variable energy yields in pigs, broiler chickens and laying hens
Published 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
Published 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 -
The metabolisable energy value of sorghum and barley for broilers and layers
Published 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 -
Nutritive value of winter wheat for broiler chickens
Published 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 -
Sex and the single chicken
Published 2003-01-01This paper discusses results from some recent studies that point to the existence of fundamental differences between males and females in metabolism of energy. It is apparent that gender can influence the digestive capacity ...Open AccessConference paper
