Wheat In Livestock Rations Weights Grassland Notes
Wheat can be used in livestock rations with care to avoid over grinding. Protein and energy exceed oats or barley, but protein quality varies little. Manitoba’s Cam Brown weights wheat limits for beef cattle up to 70 percent, dairy 50 percent, swine 60 percent growing or 40 percent finishing with oats. Frost damage risks nitrate poisoning and toxic prussic acid levels in flax. Submit frost damaged roughages for testing.
