Retrospective analyses of retained PGLP sorghum samples

The primary objective was to analyse retained PGLP sorghum samples for selected parameters that are believed to negatively influence energy utilisation in pigs and broiler chickens offered sorghumbased diets. It was anticipated that these parameters could be correlated to both ADE in pigs and AME in poultry and that their relative importance could be established. The secondary objective was to ascertain if RVA starch pasting profiles and Cielab colour values of the retained sorghum samples are indicative of the quality of sorghum as a feed grain for pigs and poultry
