Wheat by-products in poultry nutrition. Part I. Chemical and nutritive composition of wheat screenings, bakery by-products and wheat mill run

A study was conducted to investigate the variability in chemical and nutritive composition of wheat screenings, bakery by-products and wheat mill run used by the feed industry in Canada. On average, and in comparison to wheat (as-fed basis), the wheat screenings (16 samples) contained less starch (457 vs. 560 g kg-1; P 0.05), phytate phosphorus (2.4 vs. 3.0 g kg-1; P > 0.05), and higher levels of protein (151 vs. 126 g kg-1; P < 0.0001), fat (66 vs. 12 g kg-1; P < 0.0001) and non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) (100 vs. 91 g kg-1; P < 0.01). A negative relationship (P < 0.0001) between starch and fat contents of the wheat screenings samples was noted indicating that a decrease in starch content of 20 g kg-1 would result in an increase in fat content by approximately 9 g kg-1. This inverse relationship should result in the maintenance of a relatively high content of available energy in...
