Barley Bran - Feed Ingredient

Barley bran is a byproduct derived from the milling process of barley grain, consisting primarily of the outer layers of the kernel. It is typically processed into a dry meal that retains the characteristic nutrient profile of barley, including a notable content of fiber along with protein, vitamins, and minerals.

In equine nutrition, barley bran is incorporated into feed formulations to adjust the overall fiber and nutrient content. It is blended into concentrate feeds or mixed with forages, contributing to the texture and composition of diets for performance horses, growing foals, and lactating mares without significantly altering the feed’s bulk or energy profile.
