Feeding Whole Wheat to Poultry for Better Gut Health
Whole wheat feeding improves gut health and reduces antibiotic use in broiler production
or
Detail description
Feeds whole wheat to broilers in a phased approach from two weeks old, increasing to 40% in the final weeks. This practice improves gut health, reduces antibiotic use, lowers feed costs, and decreases carbon footprint due to local wheat use. Common in Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands for 25 years, it requires minimal equipment upgrades. Supports sustainable poultry farming with proven results.
