Product overview
A practical source of fiber, protein and minerals
Wheat bran is a nutritious milling by-product created when the outer layers of wheat grain are separated during flour production.
Its digestible fiber and protein support gut health, feed palatability and ration bulk. It also helps sustain milk production in dairy animals and offers formulators an affordable alternative to whole grains.
Consistent protein, moisture and fiber matter because variation directly affects ration performance. Our Africa-origin wheat bran is checked against defined nutritional parameters before shipment.
Cost-effective nutritionAdds bulk, fiber and protein without the cost of whole grains.
Verified qualityCertificate of Analysis supplied with every shipment.

Key applications
A versatile ingredient across animal-feed sectors
Dairy and beef cattle
Wheat bran supplies fermentable fiber and phosphorus, helps maintain rumen fill, supports balanced lactating rations and adds economical bulk to beef diets.
- Support for rumen function
- Useful in dry cow and lactating diets
- Digestible fiber for growing and finishing rations
Poultry
Wheat bran provides insoluble fiber for gut ecology and digestive health. Inclusion levels are usually managed carefully to protect nutrient absorption.
- Supports digestive tract health
- Typical broiler inclusion of 2–8%
- Up to 15% for laying hens
Swine
Wheat bran adds bulk and dietary fiber to grower and finisher pig diets, supporting digestive health and satiety while helping control feed cost.
- Grower and finisher applications
- Fiber for digestive support
- Balanced energy density and gut function
Aquaculture and pet feed
Wheat bran contributes fiber, B-vitamins and minerals to fish, shrimp and pet feed formulations, offering an affordable source of bulk and micronutrients.
- Fish and shrimp feeds
- Pet food fiber
- B-vitamins and bulk minerals
Nutritional profile and benefits
More than an economical filler
Digestibility
High palatability encourages steadier feed intake and more predictable performance.
Minerals and vitamins
Provides phosphorus, magnesium, zinc and B-complex vitamins.
Gut health
Fiber supports healthy gut movement and balanced digestive function.
Sustainability
Turns a nutritious milling by-product into productive animal-feed value.
Best practices and considerations
Formulation strategies that unlock more nutritional value
Enzyme supplementation
Xylanase and phytase can improve fiber breakdown and phosphorus availability.
Fermentation
Fermentation may reduce anti-nutritional components and improve nutrient absorption.
Calcium-phosphorus balance
Careful mineral balancing helps maintain sound animal health and ration quality.
