Abstract

|
This study was conducted to investigate the nutritional value of germinated barley with animal experiment. Fourthyeight weanling albino rats, which were divided into 8 groups, were fed during 4 weeks. The feed intake, energy intake, FER (feed efficiency ratio) and growth rate were slightly high in the casein supplemented groups and lucre significantly high in the rice and casein supplemented groups. But there was no a significant difference between the barley and germinated barley groups. A higher PER (protein efficiency ratio) was shown in the rice and casein supplemented groups. It was induced that mixed cereal protein increase the PER compared to simple cereal protein. Low apparent digestibility of the diet and of the protein mere found in barley and germinated barley groups compared to standard and rice groups. But apparent digestibility of protein in germinated barley groups were markedly increased by the supplementation of 5% casein or supplementation of rice and casein. From this result it was concluded that germinated barley has a nutritional effect on increasing protein digestibility when added enough amount of animal protein.
