The objectives of this study were to determine whether intestinal viscosity caused by mixed linked barley beta-glucan depresses ileal nutrient digestibility and digestive enzyme activities and to determine the interaction of intestinal viscosity, digestive enzyme activities and ileal nutrient digestibility in different ages of poultry. In Experiments 1 and 2, 1-d-old broiler chicks and 1-y-old ...

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...

the objective of this study was to determine the effects of hulled and hull-less barley grains’ chemical treatment on disappearance of dry matter (dm), starch and cncps carbohydrate fractions. for barley grain treatment, naoh, formaldehyde and urea were used at 35, 4 and 35 gr/kg dm respectively. three mature rams (one year old) of zel breed were rumen cannulated to calculate ruminal disappeara...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of barley green fodder produced by hydroponics system on the performance of feedlot calves. in a completely block randomized experiment, 24 cross bred (holstein×local) male calves were assigned randomly to one of the two treatments (diets) that were either control (grain barley) or hydroponic barley green fodder (bgf) that was included to...

Barley is a cereal grain that has demonstrated world-wide importance. Although generally considered an energy source, barley has more protein than other cereals commonly used in ruminant diets. Nutritional composition of barley can be affected by geographic location and climatic conditions. Varietal differences account for some of the differences observed in nutrient composition. However, it is...

in order to investigate the tolerance of wild barley (hordeum spontaneum), wild oat (avena ludoviciana) and different wheat (triticum aestivum) cultivars to metribuzin (sencore®), a completely randomized design experiment was conducted in ferdowsi university of mashhad. the treatment were replicated three times and included wheat cultivars (atila, chamran, niknejad, dorum, gaskojen), weed speci...

agricultural mechanization project must be identified in a short time frame to do a certain way; otherwise, cost is not the time to come and will also result in reduced yield. to avoid these costs in farming systems is necessary in any region that agricultural mechanization projects are and scheduling and planning as well as scientific until activities included in the project to fruition are do...
