Feeding Guide

Wheat bran is very palatable and can be fed to pigs, poultry, cattle, sheep and horses. Wheat bran has a laxative effect due partly to the fibre being only partially digested.

Suggested Maximum Inclusion Rates In Total Diet

Pigs:

Weaner = Nil
Grower = 15%
Finisher = 25%
Breeder = 30%

Poultry:

Broiler = 10%
Layer = 15%

Cattle = 50%

Horses = 50%

Sheep = 50%

Limitations

Due to the high fibre levels and the laxative effect, wheat bran should not be fed to young stock.
The bulkiness of bran could limit its use in feed with automatic feeding equipment. (Levels up to 15% will not usually cause these problems but this may vary depending on the characteristics of the feed bin in use.)
Further limitations may be imposed by the bulkiness of the material.

Storage Guide

Cool, shaded, dry conditions, away from vermin.
