Barley

Barley is one of the most fundamental and natural grain products in the livestock industry, ensuring that the energy and carbohydrate requirements of animals are met. Barley is used in all rations aimed at balanced nutrition and high yield. These animals include cattle, small ruminants, poultry, and horses.

Although the livestock sector nowadays leans towards alternative feed additives and industrial solutions, these traditional grains remain the primary energy source in the majority of active operations. Market conditions leading to continuously rising input costs cause significant challenges in operational budgets. As production costs increase day by day, managing profitability and sustainability becomes increasingly difficult.

What is barley used for and what are its application areas?

In short, barley serves to close the energy gap in rations and support live weight gain in animal nutrition. Thereby, animals are expected to meet targeted growth and yield standards. To fully understand the function of this product, which consists of a high proportion of starch and digestible fiber, it is worth taking a brief look at its journey through the animal’s digestive system.

Used to elevate the energy and body condition scores of animals, barley consists of high proportions of carbohydrates and optimal levels of protein. Having a structure particularly suitable for the digestive system of ruminants, this grain ensures the nourishment of beneficial microorganisms in the rumen and enables balanced fermentation. Crushed or ground barley entering the stomach is broken down by the action of enzymes and microorganisms into volatile fatty acids, fulfilling the animal’s cellular energy needs. Thus, the digested nutrients manifest as high performance, meat, and milk yield.
