DURUM WHEAT

Durum Wheat is a specific type of wheat primarily cultivated for pasta, semolina, and couscous production.

It is characterized by its higher protein content and yellow endosperm compared to other wheat types.

In animal feeding, durum wheat can be utilized in the form of milling by-products (bran, semolina offal).

These by-products are rich in energy, protein, and fiber and are a valuable component in cattle, sheep, and poultry rations.

Specifically, durum wheat bran is used to enhance the feed's nutritional value and fiber content.

To ensure better digestibility for animals, durum wheat by-products are typically ground or pelleted.
