Frequently asked questions
Do I need to add enzymes when using wheat?
Yes — xylanase at 100–200 g/t reduces gut viscosity from arabinoxylans and improves FCR by 3–5%.
How does wheat replace corn in swine diets?
1:1 on inclusion, adjusting for higher CP (reduce SBM by 2–3%) and slightly lower ME.
Is milling wheat suitable for feed?
Yes when out of milling spec (low protein, low falling number, or damaged). Priced at feed grade discount to milling.
