an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of germinated barley (gb) on live performance and carcass traits in broiler chickens. the experiment lasted for 5 weeks starting from 7 days of age and ending at 42 days of age. chicks (ross 308) were fed six dietary treatments including a corn–soy diet (corn diet), a barley–soy diet (barley diet), a barley diet plus enzymes...

Objective: The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of germinated barley on performance and egg quality in laying hen. Methods: One hundred and twenty laying hens, 44-weeks old, Lohmann LSL hens were used in this experiment. Birds were assigned randomly to the groups, each of which consisted of 20 birds (4 replicate cages each containing 5 birds). The experiment w...

Germinated barley foodstuff (GBF) derived from the aleurone and scutellum fractions of germinated barley was rich in glutamine and low-lignified hemicellulose. The diarrhea caused by ceco-colectomy could be prevented by feeding GBF to rats. GBF could also increase the protein content and sucrase activity of small intestinal mucosa in this model. This diarrhea-preventive effect of GBF would be b...

Germinated barley foodstuff contains prebiotics which are reported to have anti-cancerous effects in colorectal cancer model, but the detailed mechanism remains unclear. Recent studies revealed that the role of microbiota was strongly related to the regulation of incidence and progression of colorectal cancer. The aim of this study was to examine the anti-neoplastic mechanism by prebiotics. Azo...

The effects of germinated barley foodstuff (GBF) deriyed from the aleurone and scutell"m fractions of germinated barley low-lignified hemicellulose were examined in Spraglle-Dawley rats with constipation induced by loperamide by addition to the diet (2mg!kg body weight). Bowel moyements were higher in the GBF-fed rats than in the cellulose-fed rats used as a control. Fecal water content was als...

Recent studies have suggested that dietary fiber exerts a therapeutic effect on inflammatory bowel disease patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a dietary fiber, germinated barley foodstuff (GBF), derived from the aleurone and scutellum fraction of germinated barley against dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced experimental colitis in rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a...

Germinated seed from cereal crops including barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important tissue to extract RNA and analyze expression levels of genes that control aspects of germination. These tissues are rich in polysaccharides and most methods for RNA extraction are not suitable to handle the excess polysaccharides. Here, we compare the current methods for RNA extraction applicable to germinat...
