Branato and Pollato Offer Fodder Substitute Amid Shortage
The department outlines a rationing-lite approach to bran and pollard, urging uniform reductions by millers and merchants. A new method crushes wheat rather than grinding to create branato and pollato, enabling up to 75 percent of last year’s bran use with 25 percent mixed as a substitute. The trials show the mixtures closely match true bran and pollard in value, aiding dairy and pig producers while easing stock fodder shortages.
