Today triticale is an attractive grain crop for the production of various products. Triticale is a product of crossing rye and wheat.

Due to the whole range of physico-biological and chemical-technological features that characterize the quality of grain and green mass, triticale has found the widest application in alcohol, confectionery, bakery, brewing and in the manufacture of animal feed.

In terms of protein and nutrient content, triticale is ahead of parental forms. The grain contains 14-16% protein, 2.4% fat and 3.5-3.8% lysine. In addition, in the triticale grain there are no anti-nutritional substances of alkylresorcinols that are present in rye.

The use of triticale in the production of animal feed is explained by the high yield of green mass, which is rich in carotenoids, proteins, sugars and is superior in nutrition to rye and wheat.

The culture proved to be extremely frost-resistant, as well as having high resistance to viral fungal diseases. Triticale does not have high requirements for soils. The main producers of culture are Belarus, Germany, Poland and France.
