"isLogged": "0", The digestibility by Friesian steers of dry and acid-treated moist barley offered either whole or rolled in diets containing roughage. 1984. Rode, L.M. Gauld, S.A. 2006. “The calves will do a good job of chewing and breaking the kernels so they are digested. McKirdy, J.A. A single-stage roller mill with 10 to 12 grooves per inch works better than a roller with six to eight grooves (commonly used for processing corn or peas). Growing conditions and cultural practices may have a much larger effect on nutrient content and animal performance than varietal differences. 3. It is concluded that barley should be rolled before feeding but with oats the benefits from rolling are likely to be small … When feeding grain to cattle for production ensure a good quality source of hay or silage is always available and that it makes up at least 20% of the ration (unless feeding a complete ration where the roughage and grain are mixed). This article is taken from the link above and selecyively published with the permission of North Dakota State University. Channa, A. D. Many distillers grains samples test between 25 and 35 percent protein. Williams, P.E.V. "hasAccess": "0", This data will be updated every 24 hours. Decreasing the flake thickness of tempered rolled barley increased the digestibility of starch (Beauchemin et al., 2001). Rations for finishing beef cattle are high energy rations designed to put gain on as rapidly and efficiently as possible. For animals over 700 pounds (including cows), the animals tend to ‘gulp’ their food and don’t chew as much.

Tempering and rolling barley increased intake and gain vs. dry rolling in some studies and improved efficiency in other trials (Hinman and Combs, 1983; Combs and Hinman, 1989; Wang et al., 2003). Two-row barley generally is more adapted to dry growing conditions. Nelson, M.L. Whole oats to larger animals results in a five to seven per cent reduction in digestive efficiency. While vomitoxin can cause problems in performance when feeding swine, no evidence exists that beef cattle are adversely affected. Some plants produce a modified WDG (45 to 50 percent dry matter). “If feeding whole grains to calves under 700 pounds, there’s no need to process the grain. Barley may be used as the sole grain in diets for all classes of pigs, cattle, horses, sheep and goats.
