Economic significance, nutritional value and application of triticale

Abstract

Triticale is a new type of real grain, which was created by the breeding and selection of a man. This species deserves more and more attention from both domestic producers and producers on a global scale because it encompassed all the positive properties of wheat and rye. The paper clearly presents the knowledge about the importance, nutritional value and application of triticale and the effect of its usage in a diet of monogastric animals. The variety of uses, appropriate chemical composition, acceptable and studied breeding technology, classifies triticale as an irreplaceable source of energy and protein needs of animals. Due to its multiple usages: for grain, fodder and as a raw material for biofuel, contributes to the economic sustainability of crop production. The needs of this plant at the level of agrotechnical investments are less than in other cereals, so triticale is increasingly presented in organic and sustainable agricultural production.

Effect of Triticale Grain in Diets on Performance, Development of Gastrointestinal Tract and Microflora in Crop and Ileum of Broiler Chickens

“…Triticale is a species of cereal bred in Scotland and Germany as a result of crossing wheat and rye varieties [ 1 ]. Therefore, it combines the features of these two cereal grains: High content of crude protein and digestible energy in wheat and high yield and biological value of rye [ 2 ].…”

The Influence of Calcification and NPK Fertilizers on the Economics of Triticale Production

“…Weather and particular site conditions have a big impact on how well fertilizers are used and how much produce is produced (Đekić et al, 2014;Đurić et al, 2016;Madić et al, 2018;Terzić et al, 2018;Rajičić et al, 2021). Effective nitrogen fertilization is essential for producing grains profitably, as well as safeguarding groundwater and surface waters from contamination brought on by nitrate leaching as a result of excessive and insufficient nitrogen application (Todorović and Filipović, 2009;Biberdžić et al, 2012;Babić et al, 2021). Triticale has fewer agro-technical investment requirements than other small grains and is more suited to unfavorable soil and environmental circumstances, which has led to an increase in its use in organic and sustainable agricultural production (Đurić et al, 2015;Rajičić et al, 2020a;Babić et al, 2021).…”

When mineral fertilizers are applied to acidic soils in conjunction with lime and manure, the acidity of the soil is reduced, increasing the yield of farmed crops (Đurić et al, 2015;Rajičić et al, 2020b;Babić et al, 2021).…”

Due to the higher cost of mineral, lime, and organic fertilizers as well as the higher cost of producing cereals on acidic soils, it is debatable if such practices are profitable.…”
