Abstract

Barley is a very important animal feed plant in terms
of protein content as well as plant nutrients and vitamins it contains. In this
study, it was aimed to determine and compare macro (N, P, K, Ca and Mg) and
micro-nutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu), and protein contents of local barley
varieties of Black Sea Region. For this purpose, leaf and grain samples were
taken from 17 barley varieties. Total N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu were analysed
in the leaves and grain samples, and crude protein contents were determined in
the grain samples.

It
was determined that the total N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu contents of
leaf samples of local barley varieties of Black Sea Region were 2.50- 4.10 %,
0.03- 0.06 %, 0.78-1.65 %, 0.95-1.87 %, 0.19-0.34 %, 47.4-246.7 mg/kg,
37.8-84.5 mg/kg,
7.7-14.0 mg/kg
and 4.0-7.4 mg/kg,
respectively. It was found that the protein, total N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn
and Cu contents of the grain samples of the barley varieties were 10.2-16.0 %,
1.75-2.74 %; 505.1-837.5 mg/kg, 3822-5652 mg/kg, 651-46380 mg/kg, 1587-2413 mg/kg; 12.2-474.2 mg/kg; 11.2-23.6 mg/kg;
13.1-20.9 mg/kg
and 2.3-4.0 mg/kg,
respectively. As a result, it was determined that the
leaf and grain samples of the local barley varieties in Black Sea Region of
Turkey were determined to vary in terms of plant nutrient content, and that it
can be used as animal feed because it was rich in protein content.
