Barley
Barley is a palatable cereal grain primarily used in livestock diets to supply energy. It provides slightly more crude protein and fiber than corn. Although it contains less energy than corn, it can be used in a similar fashion. However, it should be milled before use in livestock diets. In addition, barley has a higher relative feed value to corn in ruminant diets than in swine and poultry.
Wheat
Wheat is a cereal grain primarily grown for human food products, however a sizable amount is used in the feed industry. It contains slightly more protein and lysine but a similar energy value to that of corn. The feeding value performs slightly better than corn when fed in limited amounts. Avoid over processing because wheat has a tendency to flour and form small fine particles.
