Extrusion and expansion of cereal grains promotes variable energy yields in pigs, broiler chickens and laying hens
Maximising 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) yields in monogastrics, consideration must be given to cost–effective interventions that may improve available energy supply from grains. Processing options such as extrusion an...
متن کاملSelection and storage of cereal grains for livestock
INTRODUCTION A 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. Cereal grains provide the major source of energy for animals raised in intensive production systems. However, the energy available from cereal grains can vary w...
متن کاملFlavor in Processing
Northern countries like Finland, Canada, and Scotland have a long tradition of using oats in a variety of foods. Even in these countries, however, the consumption of oats is low in comparison with that of other cereals. Processing of oats is required to provide edible products that are stable in storage and have good sensory properties. Traditionally, oats are used as whole grains. The developm...
متن کاملVariation in nutritional value of cereal grains across livestock species
Variation 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 of individual grains across animal types, except for the low energy content of sorghum for cattle. Much of the variation between grains could be explained by gross chemical c...
متن کاملStarch bioengineering affects cereal grain germination and seedling establishment
Cereal grain germination is central for plant early development, and efficient germination has a major role in crop propagation and malting. Endosperm starch is the prime energy reserve in germination and seedling establishment. In this study, it was hypothesized that optimized starch granule structure, and not only the endosperm starch content per se, is important for germination and seedling ...
