Evaluation of barley and triticale as feed ingredients in growing Iberian pigs: amino acid and carbohydrate ileal digestibility

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Iberian pig production is linked to the use of the Mediterranean woodland, where the use of local feed resources is of paramount importance for the sustainability of the system. The aim of the present work was to explore the potential of triticale cv. Camarma as compared to barley cv. Esgueva in Iberian pig feeding by studying their respective ileal digestibilities of amino acids and carbohydrates in animals cannulated at the end of the ileum.

“…Moreover, this meta-analysis revealed a great variation between the SID of individual AA in barley samples, with higher digestibility values for Ile, Leu, Phe, Val, Glu and Tyr, whereas the digestibility values of Thr, Trp and Gly were considerably low. These differences in digestibility of individual AA in barley could also be attributed to the unbalanced distribution of AA in grains (Fernández-Fígares et al, 2008). Amino acids such as Lys occur mainly in the aleurone cells which are poorly digestible, as they have solid cellulosic cell walls, hardly accessible for digestive enzymes.…”

“…On the other hand, those AA (e.g. Glu) which are mainly located in storage proteins (prolamins and glutelins) of the highly digestible endosperm fractions are better digestible (Sauer et al, 1974;Fernández-Fígares et al, 2008).…”

“…Furthermore, relative to barley, triticale shows better digestibility of amino acids and carbohydrates (van Barneveld and Cooper, 2002). It is also noteworthy that triticale is a relatively soft grain, with a hardness index almost half of that observed for wheat or barley (Fernandez-Figares et al, 2008), and therefore less mechanical energy would be required for grinding triticale grain prior to mixing it into livestock diets.…”
