Interactions between wheat and other dietary cereals with respect to metabolisable energy and digestible amino acids.
Small, varying improvements in apparent ileal amino acid digestibilities were obtained when wheat was combined with certain other cereals in broiler diets. Synergistic interactions, sometimes resulting in large improvements in the apparent metabolisable energy (AME) contents of the diets, were also observed with certain cereal combinations. Combining wheat with maize or oats enhanced the utilisation of dietary energy and amino acids.
