Physical and chemical contaminants in grains used in livestock feeds
Published 1999-01-01This review focuses on 3 main sources of contamination of Australian grains used in livestock feeds, namely chemical residues, moulds and mycotoxins, and weed seeds, including natural toxins such as pyrrolizidine alkaloids. ...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 -
Comparison of methods used to predict the in vivo digestibility of feeds in ruminants
Published 1999-01-01Digestibility is a very useful index of the energy content of ruminant feeds, but cheaper and quicker laboratory methods are required as an alternative to the ultimate measure of in vivo digestibility using animals. These ...Open AccessArticle -
Amino acid availability in poultry - in vitro and in vivo measurements
Published 1999-01-01Methodology to evaluate the protein quality or amino acid availability in feed ingredients for poultry using in vitro (enzymic, chemical, or microbiological assays), indirect in vivo (plasma amino acid assays), or direct ...Open AccessArticle -
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
