Nutrient Composition and Feeding Value of Proso Millets, Sorghum Grains, and Corn in Broiler Diets ,

Feeding value of dried lime pulp in broiler diets

Progress with Proso, Pearl and Other Millets

PEARL MILLET Pearl millet is one of the two major crops grown to feed people living in the semi-arid, low input dryland agriculture regions of Africa and southeast Asia. People in northern Nambia are almost entirely dependent on pearl millet for food. Four countries in the Sahel of Africa, with a total population of 38 million, depend on pearl millet to provide over 1,000 calories per person pe...

Proso Millets Amino Acid Sequences

Seed protein of foxtai1 and proso millets were fractionated into polypeptides that were analyzed for their major protein, prolamin, and the NHrterminal amine acid seqllenccs of the proteins were determined. The proteins extracted from foxtail and proso millets were 64.1% and 80.0% prolamin, respectively. The polypeptides of the prolamins were classMed into two groups. The majer polypeptides of ...

Metabolizable energy value of dried corn distillers grains and corn distillers grains with solubles for 6-week-old broiler chickens.

The objective of this study was to determine the ileal digestible energy (IDE), ME, and ME(n) contents of corn distillers grains (DDG) and corn distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) for 6-wk-old broiler chickens using a multiple linear regression method. The DDG and DDGS were incorporated into a corn-soybean meal-based reference diet at 3 levels (0, 300, or 600 g/kg) by replacing the energy-yi...

Comparative feeding value of steam-flaked corn and sorghum in finishing diets supplemented with or without sodium bicarbonate.

A feedlot growth-performance trial involving 64 yearling steers and a metabolism trial involving four steers with cannulas in the rumen, proximal duodenum, and distal ileum were conducted to evaluate the comparative feeding value of steam-flaked corn (SFC, density = .30 kg/liter) and sorghum (SFS, density = .36 kg/liter) in finishing diets supplemented with or without .75% sodium bicarbonate (B...
