The University of Idaho provides equal opportunity in education and employment on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, or status as a Vietnam-era veteran, as required by state and federal laws. 1 Malting barley is the most valued variety of barley. However, growing conditions for malt-ing barley may result in a substandard quality that is unsuitable for use by t...

Abstract This study evaluated the effects of physically effective neutral detergent fiber (peNDF), and undigested (uNDF) on dry matter intake (DMI), eating behavior, ruminal fermentation, total tract permeability for finishing cattle. Simmental heifers (n=6; 667.8±28.4 kg) were used in a replicated 3×3 Latin square (21-d periods) balanced carry-over effects. Barley grain-based diets formulated ...

A study was initiated in 2001at four locations in western Canada to investigate an integrated approach to managing wild oat, the region’s worst weed. The study examined the effects of combining semidwarf or tall barley cultivars with normal or twice-normal barley seeding rates in either continuous barley or a barley–canola–barley–field pea–barley rotation. Herbicides were applied at 25, 50, and...

OBJECTIVE The effects of particle size of processed barley grain, enzyme addition and microwave treatment on in vitro dry matter (DM) disappearance (DMD), gas production and fermentation pH were investigated for feedlot cattle. METHODS Rumen fluid from four fistulated feedlot cattle fed a diet of 860 dry-rolled barley grain, 90 maize silage and 50 supplement g/kg DM was used as inoculum in 3 ...

To establish a baseline understanding of feeding practices on Canadian dairies, survey was distributed online to dairy producers. Responses were split into three categories as follows: western provinces (Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan; n = 84), Ontario freestall farms (n 75), tiestall 71). Regional differences observed for many feed ingredients; example, corn soybean meal...

Almond cake is a by-product of mechanical press extraction almond oil intended mainly for the cosmetics industry. According to circular economy zero waste, purpose reuse this byproduct prepare natural gluten-free flour replace part or all whole soft wheat (SWF) in specific foods. The after grinding was sifted on sieving shaker equipped with 4 mesh sieves 1mm, 500µm, 250µm, and 100µm. obtained f...

This study evaluated the effects of gradual replacement barley with oats on enteric CH4 emissions, rumen fermentation, diet digestibility, milk production, and energy utilization in dairy cows fed a grass silage-based diet. Sixteen lactating Nordic Red received total mixed ration [58:42 forage:concentrate dry matter (DM) basis]. Grass silage (Phleum pratense) was sole forage canola meal (10% DM...

The origin, evolution, and distribution of cultivated barley provides powerful insights into the historic origin and early spread of agrarian culture. Here, population-based genetic diversity and phylogenetic analyses were performed to determine the evolution and origin of barley and how domestication and subsequent introgression have affected the genetic diversity and changes in cultivated bar...

Fermentation characteristics were measured and numbers and distribution by genera of ciliate protozoa were determined in ruminal fluid samples collected from 10 ruminally cannulated steers during the first 30 d of their being fed barley-based diets containing 62% (Medium Barley) or 95% (High Barley) barley grain (DM basis). Ruminal samples were collected at 5-d intervals over the 30-d periods b...
