Wheat as a feed substitute for livestock and price effects
Kansas State University research led by John Brethour shows wheat can substitute for other grains in livestock rations under certain conditions. Wheat offers energy and protein benefits, with digestible energy for swine and poultry above corn, though amino acid deficiencies may limit swine and poultry use. Brethour notes practical advantages and precautions for feeding up to 40–50 percent wheat, adjusting protein supplementation, and ensuring thorough mixing and adequate roughage.
