Application of a " Glucose Release Index " to assess physical and chemical characteristics of cereal grains that may influence starch digestion and subsequent energy supply to monogastrics
In the pig and poultry production industries, energy forms the largest and the greatest cost pressure when a diet is formulated. In Australia, cereal grains such as barley, sorghum, and wheat are the main dietary energy sources, comprising more than 60 % of the diet in many cases. Traditionally, …

The Blood Picture in Correlation with Bloat
… and sheep. Bloat affects polygastrics, why not monogastrics? Ruminants or polygastrics have a four compartment stomach utilizing protozoa and bacteria similar to a fermentation vat which catabolizes complex substrates into simple digestible nutrients while the monogastrics rely on secretions …

Variations in Amino Acid Standardized Ileal Digestibility in Soybean Meal
… proven to be an inefficient source of AA for monogastrics as they cannot be used for any metabolic function. In typical corn-soybean meal diets for pigs and poultry, lysine is the first- and second- limiting AA, respectively. Currently, laboratory procedures are unable to accurately determine …
