Wheat is widely grown in Australia, mainly for flour milling, with wheat not suitable for flour being used as stock feed.
The protein, amino acid and energy content of wheat can vary widely. A protein range of 10 to 18.5 percent on an ‘as fed’ basis (11 to 21 percent on a dry matter basis) can occur in practice.
Some Australian wheats have been found to have a low metabolisable energy content due to reduced starch digestibility. The occurrence of these, however, appears to be less common than thought originally. Previous studies have suggested a negative correlation between metabolisable energy content for pigs and poultry and the presence of non-starch polysaccharides in wheat.
Wheat can be included in the diets of pigs, poultry, cattle, horses and sheep of all ages.
