Description
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
- Wheat bran is very palatable and can be fed to pigs, poultry, cattle, sheep and horses. Wheat bran has a laxative effect due partly to the fibre being only partially digested.

LIMITATIONS
- Due to the high fibre levels and the laxative effect, wheat bran should not be fed to young stock.
- The bulkiness of bran could limit its use in feed with automatic feeding equipment. (Levels up to 15% will not usually cause these problems but this may vary depending on the characteristics of the feed bin in use.)
- Further limitations may be imposed by the bulkiness of the material.
