Micronized Barley
High quality micronized barley. Micronized barley has special
implications where small intestine amylase production is low (young
livestock, companion animals, horses) and where hind gut production
of short chain fatty acids are undesirable.
All species benefit from increased productivity - improved
growth and production and improved feed conversion.
Gelatinised starch has significantly greater susceptibility to
amylase degradation than raw starch; gelatinised starch disappears
at an increased rate from the rumen - both as bypass carbohydrate
and due to microbial utilisation; ileal digestibility is greater
than raw starch, across species, and less starch is available for
hind gut fermentation.
Suitable for all diets where barley is normally included.
Recommended for high performance diets and young animal diets/small
pets etc. Suitable for horses.
Particularly useful in young animal diets, but ideal for any
age.
