Extract

1. Nitrogen balance studies were conducted on 16 steers in two separate trials. The steers were fed on four diets containing respectively dry rolled barley; dried, steamed and rolled barley; dried, crimped barley and barley that had been stored in a sealed silo and rolled.

2. There were no significant differences in the dry-matter intake of any of the diets.

3. No consistent differences between the diets in dry-matter digestibility or nitrogen retention were observed.
