Cognition about chemical composition and nutritive values of the triticale grain as well as the effect of its ap¬plying in nonruminant animal nutrition were pointed out in this paper. Triticale showed high level of proteins in the grain (2–3% more than wheat and 4% more than rye), with very beneficial amino acid composition, what is the reason for its usage in domestic animals nutrition. There are opinions that triticale is one of potentially most perspective spe¬cies as nutrition, and examination of its nutritive values is necessary regard the fact that its growing is more and more higher nowadays. Based on that examination it is supposed to be suitable in domestic animals nutrition. Thanks to intensive plant breeding programs, there are many new, commercial, more yielding varieties, with series of desirable characteristics, which give their contribution this variety to become more attractive and spread on larger areas. These results will show if triticale has an advantage over other cereals and in which percentage it will have influence on further increasing of areas under this crop.
