Extract

Foxtail barley (Hordeum jubatum L.) is a native, short-lived perennial bunch grass with a wide distribution in the United States. Hay containing the mature spikes can cause severe injury or death to animals fed upon it because of the barbed awns, which work their way into the face and mouth, opening the way for infections.
