Implication

Review highlights variation in wheat energy availability in poultry, indicating near-infrared spectroscopy improves feed formulation accuracy.

Key Points

To review the factors driving variations in wheat energy availability for poultry and evaluate practical techniques used to predict these energetic differences.
Literature review analyzing physical, chemical, and biological factors that affect poultry energy availability from wheat.
Evaluation of predictive approaches including physicochemical assays, in vivo trials, in vitro digestibility methods, and near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS).
Physicochemical profiling and in vivo bird trials have substantial practical and speed limitations for commercial application.
In vitro digestibility techniques provide rapid data suitable for establishing calibration databases.
Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy offers high potential for predicting wheat apparent metabolizable energy to optimize commercial diet formulation.
