A COMMON request from nutritionists since the inception of Aus- Scan Online was to have a preview of en- ergy values for cereal grains around the time of harvest.
Additionally, it would be a bonus if the pre- view included all states around the country as the harvest rolls in.
The transfer from stored grain – old season – to new seasons grain with respect to grain quality values can vary considerably and feed formulations may need immediate attention.
tabolisable energy con- tents of the new season grains prior to feeding.
In the past, the Feed Grain Partnership pro- duced a harvest report for wheat and barley from national variety trials from Queensland, NSW, Victoria, South Australia, Western Aus- tralia and Tasmania, in which AusScan Online provided the parameters to assess grain quality.
feed mills in order to provide a more relevant report on cereal energy values for each region or state.
The undersupply or oversupply of energy in diets can result in further increased costs due to reduced performance of livestock.
This allows for adjust- ments to feed formula- tions and, with current high grain prices, 1 MJ DE/kg can cost between $25-30 per tonne.
Though these reports were valuable and pro- vided information about the harvest year, they were released after the harvest period.
Assessment of AusScan Online cereal energy values at this critical time provides nutrition- ists with the digestible energy and apparent me-
Providing this informa- tion in the short time period required had not occurred until now, due to the uptake and geographical coverage AusScan Online now has with feed mills and laboratories across the country.
The FGP also provided an additional report using AusScan Online parameters to evaluate commercial feed wheat, barley and sorghum sam- ples from Australian
A more immediate re- port has therefore been launched by AusScan Online to cover the 2020-21 harvest period by month, and to aid nu- tritionists in better uti- lising new seasons grain.
Feedmills across Aus- tralia utilising the tech- nology send the month’s scan data to AusScan Online for statistical analysis.

LEVUCELL SB helps maintain a stable and positive microbiota and improve sow’s intestinal transit with less constipation in peri-partum. With optimized farrowing conditions and well-being, sows fed with LEVUCELL SB deliver vigorous piglets with a reduced risk of digestive troubles in newborn piglets.

The reports highlight the changes and varia- tions in energy values for pig faecal and ileal DE and broiler AME, as feed mills begin to process new seasons grains.
The first early harvest report was released in the first week of De- cember and covered No- vember 2020 scans.
Monthly reports will continue until the end of May 2021.
The cereals included in the report are wheat, barley, triticale and sor- ghum – see the accompa- nying table for January 2021 data.
In other AusScan On- line news, the global online service reported a 14.7 percent increase in scanning numbers for 2020 to 42,697 com- pared to the 2019 year.

The new AusScan On- line early harvest re- port will provide a good monthly summary of ce- real grain energy levels across Australia over the 2020-21 season and aid in the accuracy of diet formulation and reduced feed costs.
This is despite the drop in scan numbers of 3.8 percent in the second quarter of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pan- demic, where Asian lab- oratories were affected by lockdowns.
Australian users of AusScan Online were consistent each month during 2020, with the exception of December scan activity which in- creased by 32 percent due to the assessment of new seasons grains.
