PRO-VIT-MIN Crushed Barley

PRO-VIT-MIN Crushed Barley is a plain grain feed ingredient supplied in a 20 kg bag. It is suited to customers looking for a simple crushed barley option that can be incorporated into an appropriate animal feeding programme. As a grain-based feed ingredient, it is best used as part of a balanced ration rather than as a complete feed on its own.

Crushed barley is processed to break the outer grain structure, making it easier to mix through other feeds compared with whole barley. This form can be useful where a grain ingredient is required for ration building, feed blending, or general feed preparation. It is commonly selected by owners who prefer a straightforward grain product without added pellets, cubes, chaff, or complex ingredient blends.

Barley is an energy-containing cereal grain and should be fed carefully according to the animal’s species, size, condition, workload, and overall diet. Because this product is a plain crushed grain, it does not replace the need for appropriate roughage, pasture, hay, chaff, protein sources, minerals, or vitamin supplementation where these are required. It should be used as one part of a properly balanced feeding plan.

For horses, crushed barley should be introduced gradually and fed in controlled amounts, particularly for animals that are sensitive to grain, prone to weight gain, or require low-starch feeding. It should be combined with adequate roughage and, where needed, a suitable fortified feed or vitamin and mineral supplement. For poultry, livestock, or other animals, feeding amounts should be matched to the species and the purpose of the ration.

PRO-VIT-MIN Crushed Barley is a practical choice for customers who want a basic grain feed ingredient that can be measured and mixed as required. Its crushed form makes it more convenient than whole grain for some feeding applications, while still allowing flexibility for owners who prefer to build rations around individual animal needs.

As with any grain feed, good feeding management is important. Always provide clean, fresh water and ensure the broader diet is balanced for fibre, energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals. If feeding horses or animals with metabolic, digestive, or health concerns, seek advice from a veterinarian or qualified animal nutrition adviser before adding or increasing grain in the ration.
