Barley, wheat and oats are all starch rich cereal grains.  They can be fed whole or processed.  During processing, these grains can be rolled, bruised, milled, crimped, micronised, or treated with alkali or acid (e.g.prop-corn).  In general, cattle need the grains to be processed more than sheep and goats.

These by-products can be variable and are more suited to ruminants.  They are a good source of fibre and have high unsaturated fatty acid content.  The low DM by-products can be fed fresh or they can be ensiled.  They are high in phosphorus but low in calcium and other minerals.  <br>

These feeds are typically processed and may be flaked, rolled or micronised.  They are suitable for ruminants and non-ruminants.  Maize and maize gluten feed have high digestible energy, but poor source of calcium.
