Feed Barley
Feed barley is an energy-rich cereal grain used in compound feed and livestock nutrition. Commercial purchasing is typically based on physical quality parameters including test weight, moisture, screenings and foreign matter.
Grade requirements vary by origin, crop and destination. Test weight is particularly important in international feed barley trade, while protein may also be analysed depending on the buyer’s requirements.
Terraviis coordinates supply through approved origin partners. Producer, origin, loading point and final specification are confirmed with the commercial offer.

Indicative industry ranges only. Producer- and origin-specific values may vary.
Final analytical values, tolerances and applicable quality requirements are confirmed before contracting and supported by the relevant Product Specification or Certificate of Analysis. The ranges above are consistent with current commercial feed-barley specifications; Feedipedia reports average crude protein around 11.8% DM, with substantial natural variation.

Feed Barley Frequently Asked Questions
What is feed barley?
Feed barley is barley intended primarily for livestock and compound feed production rather than malting or food processing.
What test weight is typical for feed barley?
Commercial feed barley is commonly traded around 60–65 kg/hl, although the required minimum depends on origin, grade and contract.
What moisture level is typical?
Commercial specifications commonly fall around 12.5–14.5% maximum, depending on origin and contract requirements.
Is protein important when buying feed barley?
Protein can be analysed, but physical parameters such as test weight, moisture, screenings and foreign matter are often more important in commercial feed barley procurement. CBIL — Commodity Brokerage International
