Wheat bran
Wheat bran is a valuable dietary feed. It contains about 14-15% nitrogen compounds, 4% fat, 9.5% fiber, and 5% ash. It has a positive effect on milk secretion and is an excellent feed for pregnant and lactating females. It can be used in feeding sows (including Vietnamese pigs), sheep, ducks, and geese.
Target animals: horses, donkeys, cattle, goats, pigs, Vietnamese piglets, chickens.
Farmers often feed bran with the belief that it is low in energy, but that is not entirely true. In fact, bran has even more energy than sorghum pellets. Due to the higher concentration of magnesium and vitamin B group, it is a suitable supplementary feed for nervous and labile horses.
- 1 kg of wheat bran (WB) has the same energy value as 860 g of oats.
- WB has three times more phosphorus than oats, 4.7 times more than sorghum pellets, and 11.2 times more than beet pellets.
- WB has 2.3 times less iron than beet pellets.
- 1 kg of WB contains the same amount of zinc as 3 kg of oats.
