A very palatable, high energy and protein feed, rich in digestible fibre, low in starch and providing a good source of bypass protein. Wheat Distillers are a product of the bioethanol industry. Following the fermentation of wheat and the distillation of ethanol, they are obtained from drying solid residues of fermented grains and adding evaporated syrups (solubles).
Benefits
High in energy and protein, which is partly degradable, can be used alongside NWF’s protected proteins to replace soya when the price ratio encourages it.
