  1. Program 1. Increasing the reliability of grain supply and reducing feed costs.

  2. Mike Taverner Program Leader for Program 1 Leader sub-program 1a – Innovative grain production

  3. Relative business indicators

  4. Research program 1 Investment in this area will lead to reduced production costs through: • More reliable and consistent protein and energy supplies; • Innovative grain, pulse and oilseed production; • Developing novel ingredients.

  5. Program 1. Increasing the reliability of grain supply and reducing feed costs. TARGETS • Reduce average feed costs by 10%; • Increase the DE of grains by 1.0 MJ/kg

  6. Southern Australia Summer 2006 2005 SE Qld Summer 2006 2005 WHEAT $328 $188 $340 $190 BARLEY $340 $182 $350 $195 SORGHUM n/a n/a $313 $170 LUPINS $335 $360 n/a n/a PEAS $340 $282 n/a n/a CANOLA MEAL $289 $294 $340 $300 SOYABEAN MEAL 48.0 $409 $439 $420 $450 FULL FAT SOYBEAN MEAL $560 $760 $540 $505 MILLRUN 16% $213 $178 $235 $188

  7. Program 1: Securing more reliable and consistent supplies of protein and energy for pig diets • Subprogram 1a: Innovative grain production • Subprogram 1b: Quality assessment of feed ingredients • Subprogram 1c: Wider range of feed ingredients for use in pig diets

  8. What we are doing about it …… • Improving grain production

  10. NIR Calibrations

  11. DE (MJ/kg DM) Wheat 13.3-17.0 Barley 11.7-16.0 Triticale 14.8-16.0 Sorghum 15.8-17.4

  12. The ideal cereal grain for pigs should allow: • complete digestion of starch by the end of the small intestines, • a high proportion of starch digestion occurring in the upper section of the small intestines, • thin and fragile endosperm cell walls with low amounts of non-starch polysaccharides and having a short chain-length  

  13. CRC projects TRITICALE 1A 102 BARLEY 1A 101 PEAS 1A 104

  14. “…… substantial increases in the availability of energy (0.5-1.5 MJ/kg) could be derived for pigs if more energy were digested in the small intestines”.

  15. What we are doing about it …… • Improving grain production • Improving grain processing

  16. Projects in sub-program 1b: • Processing methods for improving the utilization of cereal grains by pigs. • Canola meal value chain quality improvement. • NIRS calibrations for predicting the nutritional quality of feed ingredients for pigs. • Determining the nutritive value of weather damaged grains for pigs using NIRS • Effects of genetics and processing on the value of sorghums for ethanol production and pig nutrition

  17. What we are doing about it …… • Improving grain production • Improving grain processing • Creating supply chains

  18. Sub-program 1a GRAINSEARCH 1A-103 Practical guidelines for the production and supply chain arrangements to deliver new and existing cereal and cultivars for the pig industry

  19. What we are doing about it …… • Improving grain production • Improving grain processing • Creating supply chains • Finding alternatives

  20. Sub-program 1c REVIEWS • Novel and alternative feeds for use in the pig industry in Australia • Review of Promising Novel Crops for pigs

  21. Novel by-products: DDGS Glycerine/biodiesel Regional analysis of needs & opportunities Fruit & vegetable waste Food waste treatment Dairy sludge Novel crops: Pearl millet Pearl lupins Root crops Forage crops and styloanthes ANF management Novel feeds workshop: priority areas

  22. Program 1 …… • Improving grain production • Improving grain processing • Creating supply chains • Finding alternatives

  23. What is Triticale • Man made crop • Cross Between Durum Wheat and Rye • AABBRR - Hexaploid

  24. TRITICALE Improved Production Through Breeding and Agronomy

  25. Project Aims • Improved Yields • Breeding – Inbred and Hybrids • Agronomy • Improved Quality • DE, I/F Ratio, Intake • NIR

  26. Progress • Yield Trials and Rust Assessment of New Inbreds • NIR Testing of a Subset of Lines.

  27. Grain Yield of Spring Triticale

  28. Pig DE (MJ/kg)

  29. Pig I/F Ratio

  30. Lines from Dual-Purpose Program • Jackie – Released 2000 • Breakwell – 2005. 10% higher yield • AT528 – 2007. 20% higher yield • AT574 – 2008. 30% higher yield.

  31. Semi-dwarfs and Hybrids • Semi-dwarfs – anticipate a 10-20% increase in yield. • Hybrids – cytolplasmic male sterile • male sterile x maintainer (T.timophevii) (normal wheat cytolplasm)

  32. Hybrids • Cross ms x Restorer = Hybrid • Tested using old maintainer • Visual assessment at Cowra rated hybrids better than corresponding inbreds

  33. Hybrids • Hybrid with JRCT101 was rated as the best plot • JRCT74 appeared to be a maintainer. • Produce hybrid from these two lines.

  34. Hybrids • Should be able to achieve 20% heterosis • Ultimate aim to produce a semi-dwarf hybrid.

  35. GRAINSEARCH Pork CRC Annual ConferenceNovember 23, 2006

  36. Overview AIM: To supply high yielding varieties with superior agronomy and predictable price, quality and supply

  37. Grainsearch Two areas of investigation • Varieties and agronomy • increased yield • Supply Chain Groups • variety • agronomy • pricing & delivery

  38. Examples • Charles IFE Group • Varieties • Agronomy • Delivery – over supply last year, (no pricing) • Western Plains Pork (WPP) • Includes pricing

  39. Grain supply pricing • Understanding our wheat price CBOT Futures Exchange Rate Basis (Domestic effect) A$ per tonne at a given location and time

  40. 3 components • Grain can be priced by locking in all 3 components at different times • To protect against drought prices • To take advantage of exchange rate • To take advantage of world supply conditions

  41. Western Plains PorkCase study – 05/06 • April 05 agreed to supply/purchase at 0 basis • April 05 growers locked in CBOT futures at 3.70/bu • April 05 WPP locked in exchange rate at 76c • May 05 WPP locked in CBOT futures at 3.20/bu • Dec 05 Growers locked in exchange rate at 74c

  42. Western Plains PorkCase study – 05/06 (contd) Final Prices GrowerWPP 3.70 Futures 3.20 .74c Exchange rate .76c 0 Basis 0 $183 /t $155/t
