Wheat Bran Pellets For Animal Feeding

Product Overview

Description

Wheat bran pellets are made from wheat bran, a by-product of flour and grits production, which predominantly consists of husks and variable proportions of the endosperm, by adding a suitable binder (e.g. 1 – 3% of molasses, fat or colloidal clays) and then pressing the composition under high pressure in pelletizing machines or extruders to form cylindrically shaped pellets. From a transportation standpoint, pellets generally have the same characteristics as the original plant residues, in particular in terms of the product’s oil and water content. A distinction is drawn between expeller pellets and extraction meal pellets depending on their origin.

Wheat Bran Pellets are primarily used as animal feed. Moderate protein levels and energy dense feed of good energy; it acts as an addition to pasture feed. Wheat Bran Pellets when fed at recommended rates are comparatively safe to use and provide another opportunity to increase productivity, without decreasing pasture intake or adversely affecting the rumen environment.
