Summary
Triticale is a cereal hybrid of wheat and rye. Laying diets based on triticale, com, wheat or milo each were fed to 8 groups of 96 SCWL hens in cages. Two diets were formulated from each grain to contain 12.0 and 15.4% crude protein. The diets were designed to make maximum use of the grains. The only protein in the 12.0% triticale and wheat diets was that contained in the grain. Soybean meal was used to balance the other diets. Methionine and lysine were added to provide a minimum of 0.52% methionine plus cystine, and 0.50% lysine. The metabolizable energy of the diets ranged from 2900 to 2950 Gal. per kg. Egg production comparisons were based on the averages of 3 weeks preceeding the 9 week test period and the final 3 weeks.
