Nutrition value of triticale (<em>Triticum turgidosecale</em>) and corn (<em>Zea mays</em>) for growing swine
Abstract
A metabolism assay was conducted to determine the digestibility coefficients of dry matter (DMDC), organic matter (OMDC), gross protein (GPDC), gross energy (GEDC) and the gross energy metabolization coefficient (GEMC) of triticale and corn. Twelve barrows averaging 30.17 kg BW were placed in metabolic cages. The method employed consisted of total feces and urine collection. DMDC, OMDC, GPDC, GEDC, and GEMC were, respectively, 89.04, 93.69, 68.91, 89.27, 86.83 for triticale, and 87.12, 87.11, 85.79, 85.80 and 83.93 for corn. On a feeding bases, values of digestible energy and metabolizable energy were, respectively, 3404 and 3311 kcal/kg for triticale and 3320 and 3248 kcal/kg for corn.Downloads
