N2  - Nine advanced lines of triticale were grown at seven sites in South Australia. None of them differed significantly from Warimba wheat in nitrogen, ash or crude fat content, their neutral detergent fibre contents were 6-28% higher than wheat, and eight of them had significantly higher total lysine content than wheat. Two triticale lines, T507 (Coorong) and X75-832P, were compared with Warimba wheat in a sloperatio assay with rats. Despite the higher lysine content of these two triticale diets, the rats failed to increase growth rate, and no significant differences were observed between test diets.
