Buckwheat and Products Make Good Dairy Feeds
Ground buckwheat serves as a partial substitute or supplement to wheat bran and gluten feeds in dairy rations. The Digestible Nutrients in ground buckwheat rival oats or bran when properly mixed, with a sample formula of 300 pounds oats or barley, 200 pounds ground buckwheat, 200 pounds cottonseed meal, and 100 pounds oil meal. Buckwheat middlings yield about 1,532 pounds of total digestible nutrients per ton with over 24 percent digestible protein, and may rival gluten feed for milk production. A blend uses 300 pounds buckwheat middlings, 200 pounds bran or oats, and 100 pounds cottonseed meal. When priced, ground buckwheat compares to bran and middlings to gluten feed.
