Concentrations of crude protein (CP) and amino acids (AA) are in general relatively low; however, at high inclusion rates of cereal grains in the diet or ration </span><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma',sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">-</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"> as often used </span><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma',sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">-</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"> grains contribute significantly to the CP and AA supply of livestock. This was a motivation for the GrainUp consortium to systematically characterize the protein value of cereal grains (www.grain-up.de). This contribution gives an overview of the main findings.</span></span></p>
