Wheat is an excellent energy source for ruminants providing high levels of starch to stimulate milk production. Feed wheat produced in the UK has been grown for this purpose, although varieties for bread or biscuit making that failed to make the grade are also suitable. Available as a whole grain for processing on the farm and as a rolled or treated product from NWF.
