HRUŠKOVÁ MARIE, ŠVEC IVAN. 2016. Fermented Dough Characteristics of Wheat-barley-hemp Composites. Comparison of Two Dosages of Barley and Hemp Wholemeal/Flour. Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 64(3): 803–812. Wheat fl our substitution by barley one led to shortening of fermentation and leavening times (about 14–57% and 35–83%, respectively) as well as to l...

Live performance to 96 d was compared for 1,584 turkey toms reared on diets containing four levels of whole barley and two levels of insoluble grit (0 or 9 g/bird per wk). Nutrient specifications for all diets were similar. The six dietary treatments were 1) 0% whole barley plus grit, 2) Treatment 1 minus grit, 3) grit plus 5% whole barley at 0 d increasing to 35% by 19 d, 4) grit plus 5% whole...

Barley (Hordeum vulgare) is an important cereal grain that is used in a range of products for animal and human consumption. Crop yield and seed quality has been optimized during decades by plant breeding programs supported by biotechnology and molecular biology techniques. The recently completed whole-genome sequencing of barley revealed approximately 26,100 open reading frames, which provides ...

Švec I., Hrušková M. (2015): Characteristics of wheat, barley and hemp model composites. Czech J. Food Sci., 33: 66–71. Barley is known as health-benefit raw material, mainly due to beta-glucan. To explore the nutritional benefit of barley and hemp plants, wheat-barley flour premixes were prepared (70 : 30 and 50 :0 50 w/w, respectively). Hemp flour of wholemeal and fine type was added to each ...

This study was performed with growing chickens (14 to 56 days of age) to evaluate the effects of feeding a barley-based diet. The treatments were maize diet (1) as a control, barley diet with (4) or without (2) the commercial enzyme β-glucanase, barley treated with rumen fluid without protozoa (3) and hulless barley (5). The effects of treatments were investigated in a 42-day trial using 360 se...

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...

Locusta migratoria feeds on various Poaceae plants but barley. Barley genes related to feeding deterrence may be useful for developing novel resistant crops. We investigated the effects of barley cultivar Betzes, wheat cultivar Chinese Spring (CS), and six barley chromosome disomic addition lines of wheat (2H-7H) on locomotor activity, feeding behavior, survival and development of L. migratoria...
