Barley is the most common grain after wheat, especially in temperate and cold regions, where the minimum standard protein should be around 10-12% and its fiber (indigestible material) about 4.5%. Since barley lacks vitamins A and D and makes up about 30 to 50 percent of animal feed concentrate, its use in ruminant diets accelerates the growth and increase of milk protein in livestock.
