Cultivation
Hordeum vulgare L.
Barley is a valuable grain fodder crop that exceeds many cereals in lysine content and energy value, making it an essential component of compound feeds.
In the reference 593 varieties crop Barley, where this is mentioned in the description.
Barley grain is characterized by a high content of starch and high-quality protein with an increased level of lysine, which is essential for monogastric animals. The energy value of the crop is higher than that of oats and rye, and the use of hulless varieties allows for energy digestibility of up to 87%. Barley is versatile, as not only the grain but also the straw can be used as feed, which exceeds wheat, rye, and oat straw in nutritional value.
Breeding of fodder barley differs fundamentally from the malting direction: priority is given to increasing yield, total protein content, and metabolizable energy, while technological indicators critical for malting are of secondary importance. The agrotechnics of fodder barley are aimed at maximizing the gross yield of nutrients and utilizing the crop's ecological plasticity in crop rotations for the early clearing of fields.
