Barley is one of the main cereals produced and consumed.
It is rich in protein, calcium and phosphorus.
It is of great importance for the alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage industry, where it is used primarily as malt.
In addition, 85% of barley production in the world is used for livestock.
Especially, six row barley with higher protein content is a valuable feed ingredient.
Barley can be given to livestock as pasture, hay or silage.
In addition, barley straw is used as both fodder and bedding material for ruminant animals.
Feed efficiency is increased by dehulling, grinding or breaking the bran layer.
Thus, it is prevented from being eliminated from the body without being digested.
