Manitoba barley samples from the 1986 and 1987 crop years were analyzed for lysine and crude protein. The 1987 samples were also analyzed for other amino acids and for proximate components. Regression equations were developed to predict amino acid content. Crude protein was found to be a good predictor of amino acid levels. There was no effect of crop year on the prediction equation for lysine. Key words: Barley, lysine, prediction
