Nutritional studies

Nutritional studies carried out by Roquette in animal nutrition, together with its renowned research centers, aim to explore the potentials and restrictions of our products use.

The results are integrated in documentation that is at our customers’ disposal. They possess a fundamental character and are the starting point of experimentations carried out on behalf of our clients in the specific context of their breeding conditions.

This balancing between Basic Research and Applied Research in animal nutrition improves the confidence and chances for success of your innovations.
MILUREX® BE - Co-product from bio-ethanol production from our Beinheim plant (Alsace). Digestibility in poultry.

Evaluation of the energy value and digestibility of amino acids of a product obtained by combining wheat bran with the co-product of bio-ethanol distillation, in comparison with wheat bran, using caecectomised and intact adult cockerels.

Digestibility appraisal of refined field pea and cereal derived protein concentrate products for use in practical diets for rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss.

A digestibility trial was performed on production sized rainbow trout (110 g average weight) to test the efficiency of selected protein concentrate sources (pea protein, wheat and maize gluten) as a partial replacement for fish meal in balanced diets.

Growth performance of sea bass fed increasing levels of pea-wheat protein in diets varying in fish meal quality

A 11-week trial was carried out to compare the growth performance of sea bass fed six iso-nitrogenous iso-caloric diets where protein from two fish meals of different nutritive value was replaced with graded levels (0, 50 or 75%) of a mixture made up by a pea protein concentrate and wheat gluten.

Xanthophylls profile of corn gluten meal throughout the year and transfer yield into egg yolk

The study demonstrates that corn gluten is a reliable and predictable source of cartenoids for poultry feed.

Nutritional value of VITEN® and VITEN® CWS in veal calves

This report deals with the results of an experiment to determine the nutritional value of VITEN® and VITEN® CWS in veal calves (150 kg body weight). In the experiment the apparent faecal nitrogen digestibility and the nitrogen retention of both products were determined.

Digestive tolerance of sorbitol in cats

The study evaluates the consequences for feces quality of different sorbitol supplements in a commercial cat diet to determine a safe dose with regard to diarrhoea.

inra
Digestibility and energy value of co-products derived from the production of pea starch in growing pig diets.

Various co-products including pea bran, pea protein, wet pea pulp and pea solubles were incorporated at 20 to 25% of the total ration into a wheat-soybean meal based diet fed to growing pigs. The purpose of the study performed at the INRA's UMR SENAH was to estimate the digestive utilization of nutrients and the energy value of each of these co-products; peas were also included in the study.
