The Importance of Triticale as a New Hybrid Crop, in Animal Alimentation


Abstract in English

Triticale is a new crop, its major advantage in farming systems has been as good forage or grain crop for animal feed. It is possible for its utilization as dual-purpose crop. In some areas (Mediterranean conditions), it can compete with traditional small grain forage cereals. Nevertheless, the differential response of its cultivars to the process of clipping indicate the existence of genetic variation, and the selection process may improve in its utilization as dual-purpose crop. Where all cultivars studied were better than the substituted one for identical utilization.
