Chemical and physical characteristics of grains related to variability in energy and amino acid availability in poultry
Published 1999-01-01Grains such as wheat and barley, combined with legumes and oilseed meals, provide not only the bulk of essential nutrients for commercial poultry production and reproduction, but are also the prime source of anti-nutritive ...Open AccessArticle -
The energy value of cereal grains, particularly wheat and sorghum, for poultry
Published 2005-01-01Results from the Premium Grains for Livestock Program were analysed to identify variation in the energy value for laying hens and broiler chickens of cereal grains including wheat, barley, oats, triticale, sorghum and rice. ...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 -
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 -
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 -
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 -
Nutritional value of cereal grains for animals
Published 1999-01-01The energy value of cereal grains for livestock varies widely between grains and animal species. For example, the digestible energy content for pigs of wheat and barley grain ranges from 13.3 to 17.0 MJ/kg and 11.7 to ...Open AccessArticle -
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 -
Selection and storage of cereal grains for livestock
Published 2001-01-01A six-year research program, “Premium Grains for Livestock”, funded by the Grains R&D Corporation, several animal R&D Corporations and Ridley Agriproducts is focussed on improving the quality of cereal grains for livestock. ...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 -
Variation in nutritional value of cereal grains across livestock species
Published 2001-01-01Variation in available energy content (MJ/kg DM) of Australian cereal grains has been examined across sheep, cattle, pigs, broiler chickens and laying hens. There were only small differences in the available energy content ...Open AccessConference paper
