Abstract

Digestibility studies were undertaken with barley meal to examine the effect of levels of inclusion of 0.29 and 0.58 in a basal diet and feed levels of maintenance (560 g DM/d) and three times maintenance (1700 g DM/d). Apparent digestibility of gross energy and N did not vary with level of feeding but values calculated for barley by difference from a 0.58 inclusion in the basal diet were higher (P < 0.05) than those from a 0.29 inclusion. Coefficients obtained by regression were 0.783 for energy and 0.709 for N; the digestible energy value was 14.47 MJ/kg DM. The ratio of metabolisable to digestible energy was 0.968 and the content of digestible N was 12.3 g/kg DM.
