Wheat

Wheat(Triticum sativum) is the most important domestic cereal and is grown as winter or spring wheat. Its value for human nutrition depends on its baking ability, i.e. composition and content of gluten protein. For animal nutrition, the starch(approx. 58 %) and protein(approx. 12-14 %) contentare significant. This also determines the energy content. When wheat flour and wheat starch are produced for human nutrition, various by-products are produced that can be used very well for animal nutrition. These are, for example, wheat bran, wheat semolina bran, wheat gluten feed.
