Processing cereal grains for animal feeding
Published 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 -
Increasing the utilisation of grain when fed whole to ruminants
Published 1999-01-01Feeding grain whole to cattle generally results in a lower digestibility than that obtained with processed grain. If this problem could be overcome, feeding with whole grain would reduce processing costs, and the slower ...Open AccessArticle -
Associative effects between forages and grains: consequences for feed utilisation
Published 1999-01-01Intake of metabolisable energy (ME) when forages and grains are fed together to ruminants may, due to digestive and metabolic interactions, be lower or higher than expected from feeding these components separately. These ...Open AccessArticle -
In vivo and in vitro techniques for the assessment of the energy content of feed grains for poultry: a review
Published 1999-01-01The focus of this paper is on the energy evaluation of foodstuffs, particularly of food grains for poultry. Apparent metabolisable energy (AME) is currently the preferred feeding system for poultry but net energy systems ...Open AccessArticle -
In vitro techniques for the assessment of the nutritive value of feed grains for pigs: a review
Published 1999-01-01The philosophy inherent in developing in vitro digestibility assays for dietary energy and protein is reviewed and an historical account is given of the development of such assays for the pig. General principles to be ...Open AccessArticle
