Increasing the utilisation of grain when fed whole to ruminants
Published 1999-01-01Feeding grain whole to cattle generally results in a lower digestibility than that obtained with processed grain. If this problem could be overcome, feeding with whole grain would reduce processing costs, and the slower ...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 -
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 -
Cereal structure and composition
Published 1999-01-01Cereals are cultivated grasses that are grown throughout the world. As well as providing food for man, they, or fractions derived from processing them, make an important contribution to the diets of farm stock. Cereal ...Open AccessArticle
