Traditionally, barley has been the preferred animal feed for local Bedouins and approximately
80 percent of imported barley is used in feeding their sheep, camels, and goats, especially
when pasture conditions are poor and barley prices are lower than alternative feed.


Bedouins feed raw barley to their livestock and in the process a significant percent is wasted.
The new feed subsidy policy is intended to encourage expansion of
existing feed processors and establishment of new facilities to help provide local livestock
with adequate quantities of more nutritional feed formulas.

Livestock use of more feed concentrates mixed with barley is necessary to reduce barley
wastage.  When an animal consumes large quantities of barley, about 30 percent is eliminated without being digested, thereby providing no benefit in terms of weight gain or nutrition.

Although local livestock farmers prefer barley as a feed alternative, future barley
consumption and imports will depend on the ability of importers to supply barley at
reasonable prices compared to other feed alternatives such as forage and feed concentrates.
