Almost entirely. As horse feed, it hasn't been experimented with a whole lot. But it can make up 70% of the other bovine's diets. Fowl and goats need more variation in greens, and pigs need to have some supplementation with carbohydrates , but that's to be expected. It's pretty comparable to alfalfa and sorghum, and is one of the few grains that can fulfill bovine's dietary needs with up to 70% or more. Especially as a whole, stem, root, leaf and grain.
Spock: "Quadro-triticale is a high-yield grain, a four-lobed hybrid of wheat and rye. A perennial, also, I believe. Its root grain, triticale, can trace its ancestry all the way back to twentieth-century Canada." Kirk: "Mr. Spock, you've made your point."
Is it trademarked or patented? That will probably determine whether or not it becomes a really major crop in the US. If they can't monopolize it, the Big Ag corps will not want it competing with their profits.
Just get a variety that works in your area and plant it over and over. There isn’t hybrid Trit varieties. No GMO traits have been made so no one can patent a specific genome. So you can’t get sued.
So you seen the sprayer tracks too in the completely golden brown field with not the normal green weed or grass here or there. Sprayer tracks and a dead field are tell-tale signs of Round-up or it's clones.
Canola is treated with pesticides and fungicides in the field. so as far as a chemically treated crop goes, it's one of the worst culprits. There have been some experimentation to increase yield and speed of harvest, but none of those have gone very far. It's mostly about how it's treated in the field
@@saskwatch123 A bit disingenuous of me. I knew the answer. Before canola could be a successful crop it was necessary to breed out the odd "skanky" plant that ruined whole batches. This was done right there in Saskatchewan, one of the earliest uses of GMO. The head of the NRC lab that did the work was Warren Steck. I have coffee with him quite often. Amazing man.
@@davidford694the reason for the Genetic Modification is important. If they are modifying the plant to accept normally toxic loads of chemicals, then that obviously isn't good farming practices
Its a kind of hibrid that has too much glúten. Its responsável for many digestive problema. You can't keep the seeds to dow again. How is this a good thing?

I learned about triticale in the sixties when it was the theme of an original Star Trek episode.
That was the double haploid variant, Quadro-Triticale.
Tribbles just love it!
I went immediately into the comment section to see if anyone already made a Star Trek comment.
It was the top comment. Bravo!
Lol in the 80s watching Star Trek re-runs as a less than 10 year old
@@aaronsanborn4291 You basically just described my childhood. I liked TOS and Star Wars (mainly because my mom and sister liked next generation).

Where were you located?
@@patriciaseeley9635
Ephrata , Washington . We are somewhat semi-arid and use circle irrigation
Did you turn it into silage?
Once again, thank you for your video content. As someone new to farming, I find your videos very helpful. Keep up the good work

Awesome
My dad would grow Peas/Triticale mix for dairy cattle feed here in Michigan.
With that much nutrition, no wonder tribbles do so well on it!
StarTrek TOS “The Trouble With Tribbles” Tribles love it. 😂
I enjoy the thought going into the imagery used, and the credits given. AI makes only glancingly appropriate choices of illustrations for the text.
Thanks much for the update.
Would love to give it a try on my small farm but we’re in a region that is usually very wet and warm in the spring/early summer.
Many livestock farms double crop triticale & corn silage .
I wonder if this grain can be used to feed livestock by giving them a diverse diet of grains and grass to feed them and make their meat more healthy.

No, livestock who are fed triticale, wheat, or rye are unsafe for people who have celiac disease, same as the triticale, wheat or rye itself.
What about using triticale for a wildlife food plot?
this reminds me of the Star Trek episode the trouble with tribbles
Spock: "Quadro-triticale is a high-yield grain, a four-lobed hybrid of wheat and rye. A perennial, also, I believe. Its root grain, triticale, can trace its ancestry all the way back to twentieth-century Canada."

Quatro-Triticale, it's what the Tribbles eat.

Modern varieties are yeah

@@ellenorbjornsdottir1166thats BS
Do it have to much copper for sheep 🐑
Gluten is not the problem.
The problem is the RoundUp they spray on the crops to "dry it" for harvesting.
So you seen the sprayer tracks too in the completely golden brown field with not the normal green weed or grass here or there. Sprayer tracks and a dead field are tell-tale signs of Round-up or it's clones.
Finally someone else is getting it.
As a rotation component, good. Mineral mining champ!
Know about it just can’t find it any where
IT grows in my Chicken Coop 😅 ITS Mixed in the Feed 😜
@@danid.496 I did find a supplier it’s about 5x more expensive than regular wheat
I'm skeptical but hopeful
Amen
See if there's any seed vendors about you and sow it.

Tricale beer, wheat and barley right? Definately good for cattle fodder if nowhere else.

You can't keep the seeds to dow again.
How is this a good thing?
hows that triticale whiskey?
I've heard of it. The youtuber I follow has been using it for years. LOL
Matter of fact at 1:32 you got a clip from his channel....
Star trek fans have heard of it.
Quatro Triticale in Star Trek tribbles ep
Ive heard about it for 35 years
Cattle ❤️ it

"You've never heard of".
If you're a tribble ...
I thought it was just grown by people that couldnt grow human grade grain, so grew stock feed
Never heard of it? dairy farmers here in Pennsylvania have been using it for years
Pfft! Every Trekkie knows!
this farming 40 years ago only harvest for pig feed never bakery's and no pasta
Colchicine...... grows ass kickin' weed.
Can you make beer with it?
Yes, ofc
Indeed, however that chemtrail @5:32 is off-putting.
It's hard to find videos and images without them anymore
@@RegenerativeFarmersofAmerica No kidding. Cartoons to funeral processions ...
It does look like a chem trail.
Con trail as in condensation but you will believe crazy ideas over sane ones so call them chem trails.

Old news
You may be the only person that does not know of this crop? Been used and ignored depending on your social status or social rebellness. Stay safe.
Well this is not healthy grain at all sorry
If it’s not what God created I don’t want it. I try my best to stay away from crops and foods that scientists tinker with. Just my opinion. 🙏🏾
Ne postoji namernica koju čovek nije modofikovao, tako da zapravo i nemaš neki izbor.
Good luck finding crops and foods that we haven't cultivated into their current forms (first via natural processes, and more recently in the lab).
People who scream about GMO are just ignorant morons.
The gods (plural!) may have made the earth, but people made, among other things, the Netherlands, tractors, scythes, glass, kettles, paper, and generally so much of the beauty in our world - it's all made by people, or with the guidance of people.

@@ellenorbjornsdottir1166bro smoke some more of that shit
They tried to get farmers to raise it in the 70s, no one would buy the crop. It has a nasty taste.
I was wondering about the taste, I can't stand rye. No where in the video does it tell about the taste, which would be important to know. Thanks.
