ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of winter, spring, and naked barley cultivars on in vitro true digestibility (IVTD) and NDF degradability in the rumen determined by the in situ method. Differences in IVTD and effective rumen degradability (ERD) of NDF between barley cultivars were revealed. The highest IVTD and ERDNDF values were found for naked-, and the lowest, for winter cultivars. It is recommended to use the different nutritive values of each barley type (winter, spring, naked) in feeding tables instead of one common value.
