Impact of barley form on equine total tract fibre digestibility and colonic microbiota

Impact of barley form on equine total tract fibre digestibility and colonic microbiota

This study aimed at assessing the impact of four barley forms on total tract apparent digestibility of dietary fibre in horses fed a large amount of starch in the morning meal (0.27% BW). Processed barley forms had a greater pre-caecal starch digestibility than the whole form. Based on this result,...
