Carolina Pride Whole Barley is a versatile and valuable grain that goes far beyond its well-known role in brewing beer. At Coker Feed Mill, this 6-row variety of barley plays a key role in animal nutrition, offering a smart, cost-effective option for livestock and poultry feed. Rich in fiber, energy, and non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs), Carolina Pride Whole Barley strikes a healthy balance ideal for equids without becoming too expensive for cattle, sheep, goats, or poultry.
One of the standout benefits of Carolina Pride Whole Barley is its high concentration of beta-glucans. These naturally occurring soluble fibers help regulate blood sugar, support healthy glucose metabolism, and improve cholesterol balance. They also nourish beneficial gut bacteria, promoting overall digestive wellness in animals. This makes barley more than just a feed filler—it’s a foundational ingredient for long-term health.
Like oats and wheat, barley is a non-GMO grain in the U.S. At Coker Feed Mill, we prioritize sourcing barley from North Carolina farms whenever possible. This supports local agriculture, ensures freshness, and helps reduce transportation costs—savings that we pass along to our customers.
Carolina Pride Whole Barley is a staple in many of our performance equine blends and is also included in poultry, sheep, and goat feeds. Though not guaranteed for germination, many customers use it successfully to grow sprouts or fodder, which offer protein-rich, digestible forage. It grows well in typical North Carolina soil conditions, especially in the fall.
Whether you’re looking to balance energy, boost fiber, or provide gut health benefits to your animals, Carolina Pride Whole Barley is a dependable and efficient grain choice. Look for the brown Grain & Forage bag with the green tag.
