Abstract

To evaluate the chemical composition, degradability parameters and gas production parameters of barley grain, four latest-introduced linebred cultivars including Khoram, Mahur, Yusef and Sahra as well as a native one were used. Gas production parameters were determined by gas production technique, and dry matter degradability parameters by nylon bags. Gas production parameters were measured by four replicates at 2 until 96 h after incubation, and degradability parameters were measured by four replicates per fistulated sheep. There were significant differences in terms of dry matter, crude protein and crude fat contents between linebred and native barley grains (P<0.05). Furthermore, significant differences were observed among linebred grains in terms of crude protein and fat (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in gas production parameters among groups except of Yusef cultivar, where the lowest and highest potentials were in native and Yusef cultivar (300.1 vs. 281.7 ml/kg DM, respectively). The native cultivar has the highest metabolizable energy (8.71 MJ/kg), net lactation energy (5.24 MJ/kg), organic matter digestibility (57.67%) and short chain fatty acid (1.07 mmol) as compared to linebred cultivars. Degradability parameters showed the highest and lowest potential in Yusef and native cultivars (88.86 vs. 81.44 percent/h). Generally, results indicated that there were some differences among examined barley grain cultivars in terms of chemical composition and some degradability and gas production parameters.
