    Same value on a dry matter basis. You may have more losses with spoilage with crimped though

    From experience a kilo of crimp @ 75%dm is equal to a kilo of rolled barley @ 85% DM. On paper this should be far from the case

    Crimp is just allot more hassle, done lots and lots of it down through the years but its allot of work. Also the capital outlay of the pit. ie buying barley in July for feeding in say Janurary vs buying as you need it, keeps allot of money tied up. Great product if cut at the correct moisture
