Effect of Chemical Processed Barley Grain (Hordeum vulgare) Through Steam Infrared Flaking on Productive and Parameters of Ruminal Fermentation in Holstein Lactating Cows by Amir Honarmand, Seyed Alireza Vakili, Mohsen Danesh Mesgarani, Abdolmansour Tahmasebi

“…Ruminal pH and also redoex potential were not affected by treatments and sampling time (P> 0.05). In this study, data showed that cows fed the SIFBLaAb had greater ruminal NH3-N concentration when compared with the other treatments (p< 0.05).Conclusion: Feeding chemical treated barley grain with 5% extract of Acanthophyllum and/or 5.6% ammonium bicarbonate plus 1% lactic acid did not affect DMI and milk production in dairy cow, but improved the milk composition, with higher milk fat, lactose, protein and total solid. …”
