This study aimed to describe the effects of the cooking condition, including water ratio (WR) and soaking time (ST), on the texture of rolled barley, and to evaluate its β-glucan content, total phenol content and in vitro starch digestibility. Rolled barley (75 g) was soaked in 1.5×, 2.0× and 2.5× weight of aliquots of Milli-Q water at room temperature, for 30 and 90 min, respectively, and then cooked using a rice cooker. Barley and rice were also pearled (polished), cooked and examined. The WR and ST did not affect the adhesiveness of rolled barley but were negatively related to its firmness. Rolled barley and barley had higher β-glucan and polyphenol contents and less starch hydrolysis during in vitro digestion than rice. The starch granules in rolled barley are enclosed by thick cell walls, which may be responsible for its firmness and low starch digestibility.

The growing population is driving demand for animal protein which increases pressure on the agricultural industry. Vertical farming could potentially help by reducing land and water requirements while operating independently of weather. However, it is unknown how sprouted barley (SB), grown in a controlled environment system, impacts typical measures of production (body weight (BW) gain, dry matter intake (DMI), feed efficiency (G:F), feeding behavior, carcass traits, economics etc.

The frequency, duration and intensity of heat events in Australia are forecast to increase. Different grain types result in different heat loads on animals, so grain selection could reduce the impact of heat exposure. Thirty-two multiparous Holstein cows at 86 days in milk were offered a basal forage diet plus one of four supplements: (1) BLY, rolled barley; (2) CAN, canola meal and rolled wheat; (3) CRN, disk-milled corn; or (4) WHT, rolled wheat.

Thirty-six Merino wethers (10-mo-old) were fed ad libitum for 30 d 2 diets;1) low metabolizable energy diet (LME; 30% lucerne: 70% cereal chaff) and 2) high ME diet (HME; 40% rolled barley grain: 50% lucerne: 10% cereal chaff). Effects of diet on dry matter intake (DMI), ME intake (MEI), liveweight (LWT), average daily gain (ADG), carcass lean or fat gain, liver and empty rumen weight, and plasma metabolites were analyzed. A membrane-enriched protein fraction of rumen epithelium (RE) isolated enzymatically from whole depth rumen wall was quantified for each sheep using tandem mass tag mass spectrometry (TMT-MS).

Barley grain sources with variable kernel sizes makes adequate and consistent processing of kernels challenging. This study evaluated how the severity of processing for reconstituted high-moisture (65% on DM basis) barley (RHB) affects ensiling characteristics and in vitro ruminal fermentation. Three independent sources of light (<630 g/500 mL) and heavy (>670 g/500 mL) barley were blended to create 4 sources of variable kernel sized barley (646 g/500 mL).
