Nutritive value of two strains of Canadian utility wheats, i. e., Glenlea and Pitic 62, was compared with those of Canadian No. 1 feed barley and of American yellow corn, feeding these cereals to meat-type one-day-old chicks for 8 weeks.Crude protein of Glenlea and Pitic 62 wheats, Canadian No. 1 barley and yellow corn was determined to be 15.3, 14.94, 9.5, and 8.8%, respectiwely, and their total digestible nutrients was estimated to be 79.6, 75.2, 75.1 and 78.5%, respectively. When these wheats and barley were mixed in place of yellow corn in the control diet iso-nitrogenously and iso-calorically, body weight gain and feed conversion (feed/gain) of the chicks and melting points of abdominal fat of the chicks fed the diet containing yellow corn, barly or 2 strains of wheat were almost identical.Feed intake of the broiler fed barley was higher than those of yellow corn, and significant difference was observed between the two.
