Micronised Flaked Barley 25Kg

MMF Micronized Flaked Barley 25kg is a high quality micronized barley. Micronized barley has special implications where small intestine amylase production is low (young livestock, companion animals, horses) and where hind gut production of short chain fatty acids are undesirable. All species benefit from increased productivity - improved growth and production and improved feed conversion. Gelatinised starch has significantly greater susceptibility to amylase degradation than raw starch; gelatinised starch disappears at an increased rate from the rumen - both as bypass carbohydrate and due to microbial utilisation; ileal digestibility is greater than raw starch, across species, and less starch is available for hind gut fermentation.
