Abstract. A new process for the integrated production of ethanol and starch yields barley fractions with different types and contents of carbohydrates and protein. The barley hulls and bran consist mainly of lignocellulose, the barley molasses has considerable contents of sugars and soluble protein, the barley protein contains 40 % protein and has a low fibre level, while the barley fibre consists mainly of cereal cell walls and its NDF is high. The amino acid content of the barley fractions is almost the same as in the barley raw material. The nutritive value of the barley fractions was assessed in six digestibility trials performed with rams. Barley protein and barley molasses had high digestibilities, 90-95 % for OM and 87-93 % for CP; barley fibre had slightly lower digestibilities, 73 % for OM and 77 for CP, while barley hulls and bran had low values, 58 % for OM and 64 % for CP. The nitrogen balance improved with increasing level of the barley fractions in hay diet. The FU values were 1.15, 0.94, 0.97, 0.73, 0.30 and 0.93 per kg DM for barley protein, fibre, molasses, hulls + bran, hulls and a mixture of fibre and molasses, respectively. The present experiments indicated that, apart from the product of the dehulling process, the barley fractions obtained are of high nutritive value.

“…Although the geese fed a diet whose basic component was ground oats did consume a higher amount of structural fibre, including hemicellulose and cellulose than the birds in the control groups, they also had the highest daily weight gains and a similar or lower feed utilization. According to Salo and Kotilainen (1970), cellulose makes up about 31% of the structural fractions of oats and the proportion of lignin and gum-like substances is very low (below 5%). Ground oats is only slightly hydrophyllic (Struthers, 1986;Wiliczkiewicz, 1991a), which had an influence on the increase of dry matter content in the digesta.…”

Two experiments were conduced in which White Italian geese were fed diets containing large proportions of ground cereals: maize, oats, barley or rye; dried grass, dried sugar beet pulp, field bean or pea as well as low-glucosinolate rapeseed oilmeal, from var. Jantar. The highest body weight gains Were obtained when ground oats and rapeseed oilmeal were included in the diet, the lowest, when dried beet pulp and rye were given. Favourable growth parameters go together with higher dry matter content and pH of intestinal digesta. A diet of high proportion of oats and beet pulp lowered the serum cholesterol level in the geese, a diet with high proportion of rapeseed oilmeal lowered the level of inorganic phosphorus and potassium in blood serum of geese.

“…This is due to differences in the composition of the cell wall substance fraction (Salo 1965 b. Salo and Kotilainen 1969) The value for the »other cell wall substances» is calculated by subtracting from the cell wall complex determined by the method ofPaloheimo and Vainio (1965) the fractions of the cellulose, hemicellulose and crude lignin (Salo 1965 a). The remaining fraction includes uronic acid anhydrides.…”

Abstract. Trials were made to compare the digestibility of feeds in hens and rats. In the comparison particular attention was paid to the true digestibility of the feeds. The digestibility of rusks made of wholewheat meal was compared in hens and rats. The rats digested 62.1 % of the cell wall substances of the whole wheat meal, while the value for the hens was 16 %-units lower. The true digestibility of the other N-free organic matter was also clearly lower in the hen trial than in the rat trial. In the rat trials the digestibility of wholewheat meal was compared with that of bark meal. The true digestibility of the organic matter of the bark meal was only 23.6 %, while that of the wholewheat meal was 92.4 %. The digestibility of the cell wall substances of the bark meal was 18.5 % and of the wholewheat meal 62.1 %.It is rather difficult to compare the digestibility of feeds in hens and rats, owing to the great differences in the digestive tract and excreta of these animals. If the comparison is based on the apparent digestibility values, the results can be deceptive. This is due to the fact that the quantity and quality of the endogenous and bacterial materials of faeces vary considerably in the different animal species, and also in the same species when different rations are given. With poultry the uric acid of the excreta also leads to inaccurate digestibility results, if these are based only on the apparent digestibility. If the efficiency of digestion in different animal species is to be compared, the true digestibility of the feeds of these animals has to be known. The same applies if widely differing feeds are given to the same animal species (Syrjälä 1967). In this paper the word faeces means also the excreta of the hens.The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the efficiency of digestion in hens and rats by estimating the true digestibility of their feeds. The feeds used in the digestibility trials were wholewheat meal and bark meal. The latter is made from the inner bark of pine. Experimental procedureFeeds. The digestibility of wholewheat meal was studied in hens and rats; the digestibility of bark meal only in rats.
