This paper aims to describe the grains chemical composition of some winter barley genotypes performed in two experiments at NARDI Fundulea and ARDS Turda during two years (in four environmental conditions). The obtained results (i.e., ADF, NDF, ash, hemicellulose, protein, and starch content) were used to assess the nutritional profile and value of each genotype using specific formulas and correlations of the studied quality indices. These indices have been assessed separately among six-row and two-row winter barley grown and harvested during the 2017-2018 and 2018- 2019 years. The nutritional profile of the analysed samples has varied due to genotype and environment and has been clearly influenced by their interactions. These outcomes are important to highlight the differences between genotypes and elaborate on several recommendations regarding their uses.
