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 -
A review of methods for assessing the protein value of grain fed to ruminants
Published 1999-01-01The protein value of feed grains for ruminant rations is currently described in modern feeding systems in terms of total protein, potentially degradable protein, and potentially undegradable protein. Progress is being made ...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 -
An assessment by in vivo methods of grain quality for ruminants
Published 1999-01-01For the purpose of this review, grain quality refers to the efficiency with which a grain supports growth in cattle fed diets which contain grain as a major component. Grains are fed as concentrated sources of energy. Their ...Open AccessArticle
