“…Absence of any gross pathological symptoms of the liver indicates that chickens do not seem to show the problem of liver abscesses encountered in beef cattle finished on triticale (McElroy, 1968;McCloy et al, 1971;Reddy et al, 1975).…”

1. The nitrogen-corrected metabolisable energy contents of the triticale varieties Multi Graze, Graze Grain 70, 204 and 131 were 12.28, 12.69, 12.37 and 12.03 MJ/kg respectively.2. Increasing proportions (0, 25, 50 or 75%) of the maize of a diet were replaced by triticale 131 to provide diets of equal energy and nitrogen contents for broilers. These diets resulted in weight gains of 1.775, 1.782, 1.713 and 1.808 kg respectively at 8 weeks and there were no significant differences among efficiencies of food conversions.3. Dressed carcass weights as percentages of body weight were 74.38, 75.01, 73.98 and 74.50 respectively and did not differ significantly.4. Triticale in the diet did not seem to influence the relative weights of either liver or gizzard.5. The flavour of the meat seemed to become less acceptable as the triticale in the diet increased but there were no significant differences in tenderness and juiciness of the meat caused by the treatments.

“…Recently, however, interest in triticale as an animal foodstuff has revived and assessments of its potential as a poultry feed ingredient have come from Canada (Sell et al, 1962;Bragg and Sharby, 1970) and the USA (Bixler et al, 1968). Since other animal species will be competing for triticale (Strothers and Shebeski, 1965;Knipfel, 1969;McCloy et al,, 1971;Cornejo et al, 1973;Moody, 1973) a proper evaluation on a nutritional basis for each species is essential. This paper describes experiments which were carried out with colostomised birds to assess the nutritive value of samples of triticale and rye for the laying hen.…”

1. The crude compositions of samples of triticale and rye are given together with more detailed analyses for the protein and carbohydrate fractions.2. By regression analysis of absorption on intake, the true digesti-» bilities of the crude protein, using colostomised birds, were calculated to be 85-2 and 72-0%, those of the crude fat 94-4 and 89-7% and those of the carbohydrate 82-0 and 75-5% for triticale and rye respectively.3. The classical metabolisable energy values of the triticale and rye samples were found to be 14-08 and 12-51 MJ/kg (3-36 and 2-99 Mcal/kg) respectively.4. It is concluded that triticale is a better food source for the chicken than either wheat or rye.

“…The objectives of such a cross were to combine the grain quality and productivity of Triticum with the disease resistance, vigor and hardiness of Secale. Even though triticale was developed as a food grain, it has more potential as a feed for ruminants (10) and nonruminants (3, 5, 9, 12) than as food for humans.…”

Several triticale cultivars are being used as supplemental wintergrazing in the southeastern United States. This experiment was conducted to provide comparative data on the yield and quality of forage of triticale Triticale hexaploide Lart.), rye (Secale cereale L.), wheat (Trticum aestivum L.) and oats (Avena sativa L.). Triticale cultivars ‘Fasgro 385’ and ‘Fasgro 514’ produced as much forage as ‘Jefferson’ oats and ‘Holley’ wheat during the 1971‐72 season but were inferior to ‘Athens Abruzzi’ and ‘Pennington Wintergrazer 70’ ryes. In the 1973–74 season triticale cultivars ‘Fasgro 131’ and Fasgro 385 produced as much or more forage as the other small grain cultivars except Athens Abbruzzi rye. Triticale cultivars differed considerably in their ability to survive low temperatures (—11.1 C) during the 1971–72 season. Crude protein content of the triticale forage at comparable stages of growth was similar to rye, wheat and oats. The only exceptions to this were Funk's Rosner and Graze Green 70 at the last clipping in 1972. Cell wall content of the triticale cultivars was lower than rye or rye‐wheat mixtures late in the season; however, their CWC was similar to Holley wheat throughout the growing season. Triticale CWC was similar to oats at all harvest dates except the last one in 1974.
