Product Profile

With its unique flavor and aroma, Barley Flake increases dry matter consumption in animal nutrition. Due to its rapidly digestible form, it quickly replaces the energy deficit in dairy animals, increasing milk quality, quantity, and protein levels. In beef cattle, it raises carcass dressing percentages and live weight gain to peak levels, ensuring they reach the target weight quickly. It is used by mixing with other raw materials and feeds in enterprises that produce their own feed.

Purpose of Use

• Increases milk quality, quantity, and protein levels.
• Increases success rates in heat (estrus) and conception.
• Eliminates the negative energy balance of high-yielding animals in the early lactation period.
• Supports the rapid recovery of the animal post-calving.
• Supports milk yield, allowing the animal to reach peak levels earlier and more healthily.
• Provides a high-quality, highly digestible energy source in the ration.
• Ensures optimum efficiency in milk production throughout lactation.
• Offers higher utilization rates compared to whole or ground barley.
• Stimulates appetite with its taste and smell, increasing dry matter intake.

Product Composition

Barley

Instructions for Use

• Because Barley Flake is digested very rapidly, if it is given in excess or without sufficient forage, it can suddenly increase rumen acidity, leading to acidosis and associated hoof diseases (lameness/laminitis).
• To allow the rumen microflora to adapt to this rapid energy source, Barley Flake should be introduced to the ration gradually over a period of 7-10 days, rather than all at once.

Method of Use

• For correct use, Barley Flake should be positioned as the "energy supplement" of the ration. The healthiest approach is to determine the daily usage amount based on the animal's breed, production level, and live weight. For the most appropriate usage recommendation, you may consult Vioment technical support experts.
