“…This large difference of some 4 MJ kg-I is difficult to reconcile with previous observations of I changes in nutrient profile with sprouting (Peer and Leeson, 1985). It is also 1 observed that this ME value for regular unsprouted barley is somewhat less than that previously reported for this ingredient (Summers and Leeson, 1976).…”

“…Previous experimentation (Peer and Leeson, 1985), has shown that the amounts of starch and energy of barley sprouts decrease, while the amount of fibre increases with increased sprouting time. As poultry have a limited ability to digest fibre (Moran,1.982), the gain in fibre coupled with the loss of starch explain the observed decrease in ME of the sprouts.…”

“…The sprouted grain was subsequently mixed fresh with the remaining diet ingredients to provide the daily feed allocation for each pig. Barley was sprouted for 4 days in the hydroponic system described previously (Peer and Leeson, 1985). In order to ensure the required proportional consumption of sprouts (which could be selected out by the pig) all test diets were given at 80% of maximal intake.…”

“…The barley for the sprouted diet was weighed into individual trays, 1 tray per pen per day on a dry-weight basis, in order to keep the inclusion level of barley constant between the two diets. Barley was sprouted for 4 days in the hydroponic unit mentioned earlier (Peer and Leeson, 1985), and given fresh. Both diets were given once daily at 90% of maximal intake to guarantee total consumption of the sprouts, so that the inclusion levels of barley would remain constant for the two diets.~~~~~ Forty, 18-kg gilts and boars were weighed and randomly assigned to 10 consecutive pens in an environmentally controlled room, such that each sex was evenly distributed among the 10 pens.…”

Barley and canola seeds were sprouted over a 5 day period, in laboratory conditions under room temperature (22 degrees C) and room lighting. Following initial hydration, seeds were kept moist by wetting the germination trays at 9 a.m., 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. daily. A parallel germination experiment using 200 g quantities of seeds in petri dishes was conducted. Starting from the second day of germination, and every day, dishes of germinating seeds were removed, oven-dried, weighed and milled for proximate and chemical analysis. Seeds from the main germination experiment were fed in a digestibility trial to Wistar rats. Results indicated that sprouting was associated with depletion of many nutrients in both barley and canola, the major losses being in respect of dry matter, gross energy and triglycerides. In barley (but not in canola) sprouting was associated with significant increases in crude fiber and diglyceride content. In canola, there were significant losses in lipid content and increases in phytosterol and phospholipid content. Digestibility data showed an enhancement in digestibility of nutrients in barley but not in canola, implying that sprouting improved nutritional quality of barley but not canola.
