Hulled Millet - Feed Ingredient

Hulled Millet refers to millet grain that has had its indigestible outer husk mechanically removed, leaving the edible inner seed intact. The most common type used in animal feed is proso millet (Panicum miliaceum), though other species may also be used. Hulled millet is a small, starchy cereal grain that is naturally gluten-free and used as an alternative to traditional grains like oats or corn.

In equine nutrition, hulled millet is included as a source of digestible energy, primarily from carbohydrates, with moderate protein and low fat. It is palatable and can be used in pelleted feeds or grain mixes, particularly in specialty formulations seeking grain diversity or reduced starch alternatives. Its small seed size makes it suitable for processing into mash or pellet form.
