What is wheat bran?
Wheat bran is wheat skin.

There are some germs at the end of wheat husk (that is, the part where wheat germinates), accounting for about 5- 10% of the total wheat husk, and a part of flour is about 1/3- 1/2. Wheat bran is divided into six layers, and the outer five layers contain more crude fiber and are not easy to digest. Wheat bran contains a lot of vitamin B. Rich in cellulose and vitamins, it is mainly used in food, feed raw materials, wine making and so on. Wheat bran is a by-product of wheat processing flour, which is yellow, flaky or powdery.

Wonderful use of wheat bran

1. If the ewe doesn't lick the wool after the lamb is born, it can be wiped dry with wheat bran, so that the ewe can get close to the lamb more easily.

2. Feeding wheat bran to sheep can promote fetal membrane discharge and estrus.

3. Drinking brown sugar bran soup (brown sugar 200g, wheat bran 500g, scalded with 2000 ~ 2500ml boiling water) is helpful for ewes to replenish energy and straighten their intestines after delivery.

Wheat bran is essential in various animal feed formulas. You can feed more in summer to clear away heat and reduce fire, but it can't exceed 65,438+05%. Because of the high phosphorus content, eating too much will lead to a solid urethra, especially rams, especially lambs. The proportion can be controlled at 65,438+00% in spring and autumn and 7-8% in winter. Don't use it in large quantities. Use less male lambs.
