Abstract: The growth of chickens, quail, and Tribolium castaneum larvae fed isonitrogenous diets containing 15 percent protein mostly derived from cereals was correlated with the chemical composition using ridge regression analysis. The following variables were included in the analysis for two varieties of tri tic-ale, three varieties of soft and common wheat, two of hard wheat, and three of durum wheat: moisture, crude protein, lipid, ash, amylase inhibitor activity, pearling index, reducing and nonreducing sugars, glucose, soluble and insoluble starch, available carbohydrate, amylopectin/amylose ratio, water-soluble pentosans, cellulose, pectic substances, lignin, hemicellulose, nonavailable carbohydrate, and acid and neutral detergent fiber contents.
