BARLEY

Barley is one of the primary cereals that is produced and consumed.

It is rich in protein, calcium, and phosphorus.

It is of great importance, primarily for the alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage sector where it is used as malt.

Furthermore, 85% of the world's barley production is used for animal husbandry.

Six-row barleys, with their higher protein content, are particularly valuable feed components.

Barley can be provided to livestock as pasture, hay, or silage.

Additionally, barley straw is also used for ruminants both as feed and as bedding material.

Feed efficiency is increased by dehulling, grinding, or breaking the bran layer.

This prevents it from being excreted from the body without being digested.
