24. True digestibility of the amino acids of triticale by experiments with Japenese qualls (Coturnix Coturnix Japonica)

Balance experiments for establishing of the digestibility of the amino acids of triticale with Japanese quails have been conducted. Two methods were used – fecal and indicator. The average true digestibility of the amino acids, using  the fecal methods, were 79.53 and for essential amino acids – 81.79. The highest true digestibility shows glutamine – 87.43 and the lowest – alamine – 77.05. The average true digestibility of the amino acids, using the indicator methods, were 79.41 and for essential amino acids – 82.64. The highest true digestibility shows metionine – 94.92 and the lowest – histidine – 76.01. Significant were the differences between the both of the methods by arginine, glutamine and methionine.
