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 -
Relationships between the ileal and faecal digestible energy content of pig diets containing Australian barley cultivars
Published 2000-01-01Significant variation has been shown to exist between the digestible energy of barley cultivars fed to growing pigs, but due to extensive fermentation in the hind gut, digestible energy measurements may be underestimating ...Open AccessConference paper -
In vitro fermentation of grain and enzymatic digestion of cereal starch
Published 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 -
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 -
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
