Introduction-High Quality Micronized Barley. Optimisation of starch gelatinisation improves digestible energy of barley across species.
Nutritional Benefit-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 then raw starch, across species, and less starch is available for hind gut fermentation.
Target Diets-Suitable for all diets where Barley is normally included. Recommended for high performance diets and young animal diets. Suitable for horses.
