Abstract

Triticale is a cereal grain that holds great promise as an alternative to wheat and other conventional grains used in poultry diets. Triticale generally has a higher yield than wheat and adapts to more difficult agronomic conditions than wheat (Korver et al., 2004). A crop breeding group at the University of New England (UNE) has developed varieties that are even more high-yielding and more disease-resistant than the current commercial strains. These varieties will need further evaluation to establish their potential for animal, and particularly poultry feeding.
