“…Prandini et al (2011), testing in growingfinishing heavy pig three diets differing for protein sources (soybean meal vs. pea or faba bean), did not find significant differences in blood analysis, but the DWG resulted significantly (p < .05) higher in the Faba bean group than in the other diets. Harrold et al (1989) demonstrated that a barley-based diet can support performance comparable to a corn-based diet in growing pigs. On the contrary, Tu snio et al 2017found significantly higher daily gain and feed conversion ratio in male swine fed a diet with pea as protein source for four weeks, compared to soybean.…”

The type of starch and fibre in the diet affects several parameters, including glycaemic and insulin response, that are involved in pig growth performance. Four experimental diets for growing pigs differing for carbohydrates source (corn, barley, faba bean and pea) were tested. The diets were analysed in vitro to assess the carbohydrates characteristics, and they were administered to 56 crossbreed growing pigs (Landrace Â Large White) randomly divided into four groups (mean age of 95 ± 6 days; body weight 80 kg ± 4 days). Clinical examination and average daily gain were performed before recruitment and after 40 days of experiment. The metabolic effects were investigated by blood count and serum biochemical parameters and by the glycaemic and insulin post-prandial response. The study revealed substantial differences among the diets, suggesting that alternative feedstuffs for swine affect several parameters, including glycaemic and insulin response, with no negative effects on growing performance. The Barley group showed the highest daily weight gain (p < .05) associated with the highest glycaemic (p < .05) and insulin response at 1 and 2 h post-prandial (p < .01), suggesting that the barley-based diet can support performance comparable to that of the corn-based diet in growing pig. By contrast, the lowest glycaemia was observed in the Faba bean group (p < .05), confirming the capacity of this legume to modulate post-prandial glucose levels. Moreover, the ability of some ingredients in lowering glucose and insulin response enriches the knowledge on functional nutrients for animal diets and to prevent the incidence of enteric diseases. HIGHLIGHTS The type of starch and fibre used in the diet highly affected some blood parameters, such as glycaemic and insulin responses. The Barley group showed the highest daily weight gain. Lower glycaemia levels were observed in the Faba bean group compared to the Corn one. Alternative protein sources for swine diets can limit the glycaemic and insulin response with no negative effects on growing performance.

“…Enhancing crop production in hyper arid desert climate regions like Kuwait is a major challenge due to its harsh environmental conditions marked by several biotic as well as abiotic stresses and scarce natural resources. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), a main source of food and feed (Harrold, 2010) is one of the most dependable cereal crop under saline and drought conditions (Verstegen, 2014). In Kuwait only 4 to 5% of the total livestock feed requirements are met from the local farming systems, therefore the country mainly depends on imported barley grains, straws and other feeds.…”

Background: Plant genetic diversity is the key to the development of new crop varieties for enhanced crop production and improvement of food security. Barley is one of the most dependable cereal crop under saline and drought conditions and used majorly in feed, food and malting industry. The growth and yield of barley is highly influenced by the production environment and genotype. Methods: The study evaluated the growth and yield performance of fourteen barley genotypes under Kuwait’s environmental conditions. The field trials were conducted in Kuwait for two successive seasons 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 in a randomized complete block design with three replicates. Result: The combined analysis of variance has shown that plant height, number of tillers/m2, number of days to heading, hundred kernel weight, grain and biomass yield varied significantly between the fourteen different barley varieties. Similarly, all the parameters varied significantly between the years except hundred kernel weight. In addition, an interaction was observed between genotype and year, for all parameters except hundred kernel weight, biomass yield and number of tillers/m2. Taking into consideration the two growing seasons, the varieties Kuwait 3 and Kuwait 4 presented superior performance over other varieties in terms of grain and biomass yield under Kuwait’s harsh environmental conditions.
