Abstract

The ability of modern triticale varieties to produce higher yields in marginal areas than traditional cereal grains, such as wheat and barley, has increased its availability for inclusion in livestock diets. In poultry diets, non-starch polysaccharides within triticale may increase the viscosity of gut contents, but this can be overcome through supplementation with exogenous enzymes. The superior lysine and crude protein (CP) content of triticale, as compared to corn, wheat, or barley, may alleviate the need for additional protein supplements in swine and cattle diets. Additionally, inclusion of triticale in the transition diets of dairy cows can increase the CP content and yield of milk. Triticale has also been used as a substrate for ethanol production with triticale-dried distillers’ grains (DDGS) being an attractive feed by-product owing to its high protein content. Current research suggests that triticale-DDGS can be included in ruminant diets at up to 20 % dry matter (DM) without negatively affecting growth or feed efficiency. For swine and poultry, it is currently recommended that triticale-DDGS be limited to 10 % of dietary DM, although research to precisely define optimal dietary levels is lacking. Triticale and triticale-DDGS are valuable components of livestock diets with low input costs and the ability to produce high yields under arid conditions, making it an ideal feed grain to assist with adaptation to climate change.
