Extract

Variety and location of production can affect the nutritive value of barley grain (Valaja et al 1997). Riviera and Dandy are the most commonly produced varieties of barley in Northern Ireland and it was an aim of this study to compare their nutritive value and to examine the effect of location of production. The growing and harvesting conditions have been shown to affect chemical and physical properties of cereal grain (Rogel et al 1987). A further aim was therefore to compare the nutritive value of Riviera and Dandy produced in 1998 (McCann et al 2000) and in 1999.
