Millmix - Feed Ingredient

Millmix is a general term used to describe a blend of byproducts resulting from the milling of cereal grains, particularly wheat. It typically includes a mixture of wheat bran, wheat pollard (fine bran and flour particles), and other small fractions from the milling process. The exact composition can vary depending on the source and milling method.

In equine nutrition, millmix serves as a moderate-energy feed ingredient with a relatively high fiber content compared to straight grain. It provides digestible carbohydrates, some protein, and B-vitamins, and is often used in pelleted feeds or mash formulations to add bulk and improve texture. Its palatability and ease of mixing make it a common carrier for other nutrients or supplements.

The nutrient profile and digestibility depend on the proportions of bran and flour-like particles, so it is often analyzed batch-by-batch for formulation accuracy.
