“…The MEn of blood meal, converted to an air dry basis, was slightly less than that obtained by Oluyemi et al (1976). The efficiency of utilization of the GE in blood meal was slightly less than that of fish meal in our studies but similar to that of fish meal reported by Potter and Matterson (1960).…”

The nitrogen corrected metabolizable energy (MEn) and nitrogen content of wheat, menhaden fish meal with and without solubles, and ring dried blood meal were determined. The WS-3 hard red spring wheat was grown in North Dakota (I), Oregon (II), and the Imperial Valley in California (III) and WS-1 hard red spring wheat was also grown in Oregon (IV) during the same year. The nitrogen levels of I, II, III, and IV were 3.0, 2.6, 2.3, and 2.6% on a dry matter basis. Differences occurred by location grown but not by variety. The MEn levels were 3.46, 3.47, 3.48, and 3.44 kcal/gdry matter for I, II, III, and IV. These values were 78, 79, 80, and 79% of the gross energy (GE). The nitrogen content of menhaden fish meal (MFM), 11.0%, was less (P<.05%) than that of menhaden fish meal with solubles (MFMS) which was 11.3%, dry matter basis. The determined MEn values of MFM and MFMS on a dry matter basis were 3.14 and 3.12 kcal/g of dry matter, or 67 and 68% of GE. An animal protein blend contained 11.1% nitrogen and 3.12 kcal/g of dry matter which was 68% of GE. These values were similar to those obtained for MFM and MFMS. Ring dried blood meal contained 15.8% nitrogen on a dry matter basis, indicating it contained 98.75% protein, assuming N X 6.25 equals crude protein. It contained 3.81 kcal MEn/g of dry matter which was 61% of GE.

“…Fuller et al (1966) studied 22 sorghum hybrids, whose tannin contents were determined by the Chang and Fuller (1964) method, and ME by the Potter and Matterson (1960) method. Tannin content ranged from 0.2 to 2.0% and ME from 2617 to 3516 kcal kg-l. Chickens fed on these sorghums showed growth rates negatively related to tannin content, conforming with the previous findings of Chang and Fuller (1964).…”

“…Under similar conditions, sodium dicarbonate removed 77% of the tannins. Tannins can also be removed by treatment of the grain with concentrated ammonia solution (approximately 350 g NH3 kg-l) at room temperature for 7 days (Price and Butler, 1978). Reichert et al (1980) obtained a significant decrease of tannin content by addition of water to reduce sorghum dry matter to 70%, followed by anaerobic incubation at 25°C for 2 days.…”

The authors review the main studies of the last 30 years concerning the chemical and nutritional features of sorghum grain. They describe the problems related to the tannins which lower to various extents its metabolizable energy value, palatability and protein utilization for chickens. They also emphasize that the new sorghum cultivars with low tannin content and nutritive value similar to maize really are suitable for use as the only cereal component of commercial poultry diets.

“…C content from one another. The obtained value on a dry matter basis for glucose compares with 3593 (Potter and Matterson, 1960), 3634 (Anderson et al, 1958), 3583 (De Groote, 1969 and 3432 . The determined value for degummed and bleached soybean oil compares with 8290 and 8900, 9200 for degummed, and with the following values for undegummed soybean oil: 8650, 8220, 8940, 8020, , 8370, 8540, , 9170, 9200 (Lewis and Payne, 1966), 9260 (Young, 1961), 9070, 8740, 8930, 9020 (Young and Artman, 1961) and 8450 .…”
