Feed applications and quality parameters

Dairy, beef, feedlot and poultry operators use feed barley as an energy and fibre grain in compound rations. Typical export parameters: moisture max 14%, test weight min 60 kg/hl, admixture max 3%, sprouted kernels max 3%. Contracts can also fix crude protein, starch and fibre fractions to match the ration. For malting-grade alternatives see malting barley; milling wheat programs are listed under wheat 12.5%. Logistics and Incoterms context is in our Black Sea grain logistics guide and the import from Russia buyer guide.

Destination markets and import demand

Russian feed barley moves to livestock importers and feed mills in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Lebanon, Egypt and Syria — markets that combine Black Sea FOB pricing with coaster and Handysize discharge economics. Asian buyers (China, Vietnam) source for feed programs when freight and quarantine windows align. Middle Eastern and North African offtakers value consistent test weight and low sprouted-kernel content for long-distance storage and milling into rations.

Documentation and survey at load

Each cargo is documented with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin and independent survey by SGS or an equivalent surveyor at the load port. Quality determination at loading — sampling from conveyors or holds, sealing and dispute rules — follows GAFTA contract practice or the buyer's nominated form. Mycotoxin panels can be added when the destination requires. Weight and quality are fixed at load; phytosanitary inspection confirms compliance with the importing country's plant-health rules before vessel departure.
