Barley is a palatable, nutritious and good cereal grain for horses. Barley cannot be fed whole but can be fed cracked, rolled, cut, steam flaked,or boiled (Micronised). More energy dense than oats and a higher fibre content than maize, barley is seen as an ‘in between’ grain. Boiled Barley increases digestive efficiency so it has an elevated energy level over that of un-cooked Barley.
