Part of the annual cultivated grasses from the botanical family of Gramineae (Poaceae), barley (Hordeum Vulgare) is considered as a important cereal crop worldwide, especially regarding its use in animal feed, as beeing known for its many benefits, such as a well-balanced energy and calories intanke and its high protein content. The large scale use of cereals in human and animal nutrition presents a series of special advantages, such as the possibility of long-term preservation of the quality of the grains, the easy forms of transportation, the multitude of uses, or the potential of cultivating these species in various geo-pedo-climatic conditions. Thus, all these advantages have determined the very high share of cereals globally, not only in terms of the agricultural sector, but also in terms of the world trade. In animal feed, barley occupies a special place, especially in cattle feed, as it could be consumed in different forms: grains (concentrates), green fodder, hay, coarse fodder, or autumnal mash, is cultivated in a mixture with peas or autumnal sleet. Due to their particular characteristics, such as very good tolerance to the main foliar diseases and high tillering capacity, the new fodder barley varieties have determined the wide spread of this crop, as one of the main cultivated cereal species, known for its reliable and constant productions and which, together with the two-row barley, exceeds 50 million cultivated hectares worldwide.
