Barley is well known as a good feed for western Canadian beef cattle.
But traditionally, it has not been seen as good for single stomach animals, such as swine and poultry, because of its high-fibre content.
Now Calgary-based Canadian Bio-Systems Inc. is conducting new research that could offer solutions on how to change that.
“The market here is, you’ve got this widely grown crop. It’s price competitive, local, and with the right technology then you can just keep using more and more of that input and maximize profitability,” said Rob Patterson technical director at Canadian Bio-Systems.
