Nutrients
ProteinBarley Malt Sprouts are made from spent barley grain that is leftover from processing for beer production. The spent grains are then sprouted, resulting in a nutritious feedstuff that is very high in protein and energy.
Mad Barn's Feed Bank provides nutritional profiles on +3,400 forages, feeds and supplements used in the equine diet. With our free diet formulation tool, this data can be used by horse owners and nutritionists to design balanced feeding programs for horses in their care.
