SummaryThe results obtained in 2 independent experiments demonstrated that a simple water treatment of pearled barley markedly improved the nutritional value of this cereal grain. Treated barley was equal to corn for chick growth. The diet containing treated pearled barley gave significantly better (P<.01) feed efficiency than the diet containing corn or untreated pearled barley.
