    Malted barley has had most of the starch (and therefore energy) removed, so
    not nearly as valuable as whole barley.  Just replace the barley with oats
    instead.  The reason for using a portion of barley in the first place is
    because barley provides a slightly better amino acid profile, but oats are
    more digestible and provide slightly less soluble carbohydrates and a little
    more fiber.  In the real world, assuming you're feeding a good quality hay,
    don't worry about it---25% corn and 75% oats will do you fine.
