    Abstract: In order to determine of fermentation characteristics of treated and untreated barley grain the experiment was carried out. The treatment contain Untreated Barley Grain (UBG), Teated Barley Grain at 120°C, 5´ (TBG 1) and 20´ (TBG2) and 100 C, 5´ (TBG 3) and  100°C,  20´ (TBG  4). The gas production was measured at 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 36 and 48 h.  The gas production data were fitted by the equation of P =A(1-e<SUP>-ct</SUP>). The gas production of treated barley grain at 48 h was lower than the other treatments (p&lt;0.05). Also the gas production of soluble and insoluble fractions (A) and rate of gas production in most of treated barley grain were lower than the other treatments (p&lt;0.05). Treatment of barley grain by heat had low gas production resulting and improved efficiencies of barley grain and increased by pass protein.
