Evaluation of various NIR instruments for estimating grain quality for livestock
Published 2005-01-01A large national research project in Australia over the past seven years has focused on improving the quality of grains for feeding to livestock. A major expectation of the grain and livestock industries from this project ...Open AccessConference paper -
Microstructure of grains as an indicator of nutritive value
Published 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 -
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
