Ground Wheat - Feed Ingredient
Ground wheat is produced by grinding whole wheat kernels (Triticum spp.) into a coarse or fine meal. It includes the bran, germ, and endosperm unless otherwise specified, and is used in animal feeds as a source of energy, protein, and fiber.
In horse feed formulations, ground wheat provides a high level of starch, moderate protein, and small amounts of fat. It contributes to the energy density of the diet and is sometimes used as a partial replacement for other cereal grains. The finer grind improves digestibility but may also increase the risk of starch overload if not balanced properly in the ration.
The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Ground Wheat as an ingredient.
