Feeding whole grain wheat to broilers
Whole grain wheat feeding in broiler production across the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany
or
Detail description
Feed mixing with whole grain wheat is practiced by broiler farmers in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, reducing transport and carbon emissions. Farmers store and mix locally produced whole wheat with concentrated feed from around two weeks of age, improving gut health and feed digestion. This practice supports sustainable agriculture and may reduce antibiotic use. The factsheet provides a factual overview of this sustainable feeding approach.
