Wheat Bran

Wheat Bran

Animal Feed:
Wheat bran supports digestion in ruminants (cattle, sheep, goats) due to its high fiber content. It contributes to rumen health while providing energy to the animals. Bran is often added to roughage-based rations to regulate rumen microflora and support the rumination process.

Food Industry:
As a natural source of dietary fiber, wheat bran is effective against digestive problems such as constipation. Therefore, bran-containing products are commonly consumed as dietary foods and fiber supplements.

Use in Animal Nutrition:
Wheat bran is also a suitable feed ingredient for poultry, swine, and horses. It meets their energy and fiber requirements and facilitates easier digestion.
