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 -
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 -
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 -
Strategies for the assessment of Livestock feed ingredient quality
Published 1999-01-01Potential exists to improve current strategies and methods employed to assess livestock feed ingredient quality. Of paramount importance to any assessment procedure is representative sampling of the test ingredient. Sampling ...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
