Nutritive value of triticale in poultry nutrition

chemical composition (dry matter، crude protein، crude fiber، ash، crude fat، calcium، phosphorus and nitrogen-free extract)، sugar and total starch according to standard methods، resistant and non-resistant starch with kit method (Megazyme) and metabolizable energy of 13 varieties elite triticale was measured. Results of chemical composition showed، the average rate of dry matter، crude protein، crude fiber، ash، crude fat، calcium، phosphorus and nitrogen-free extract، respectively were 93. 23، 13. 23، 3. 8، 1. 71، 1. 57، 0. 162، 0. 30 and 80. 30 percent. Gross energy was equal to 4116. 88 kcal/kg and amounts of sugar، total starch (chemical method)، feed resistant and non-resistant starch، and both of them، respectively were، 6. 73، 58. 15، 2. 29، 27. 34 and 29. 63 percent. Metabolizable energy (AME، AMEn، TME and TMEn) among the triticale varieties had significant difference (p<0. 05). The T8 had lowest and T6 had highest amount of Metabolizable energy. According to the results، the experimental treatments T2 (ET-85-9)، T3 (ET-84-15)، T5 (ET-79-3) and T6 (ET-79-4) were better than the other varieties، so these varieties are considerable and suggest for development.
