title: [Studies on the true amino acid digestibility in pigs of various wheat varieties from the Soviet Union].
abstract: Studies were carried out with pigs for determining, with classical methods, the true digestibility of amino acids contained in 5 intensively grown wheat varieties imported from the Soviet Union and in one wheat variety grown in the GDR. Of all the varieties tested the variety Mironovskaya 808 exhibited the best characteristics. An extremely low true lysine digestibility was established for the variety Avrora (68%). If this variety is to be more extensively grown and used for feeding purposes further studies will have to be made to see whether this low lysine digestibility is really characteristic of this variety.
