What are the nutritional benefits of whole wheat?

- High energy from starch
- Good fibre from the bran
- B vitamins and minerals from the phosphorus.
It is more nutrient dense than maize but slightly lower in energy.
Is whole wheat safe for poultry?
Yes, poultry digest whole wheat effectively. Many farmers use it as a scratch feed. It is recommended keeping whole wheat at 10-30% of the overall diet.

Whole wheat does not directly increase egg production or shell strength. However when fed correctly as part of a balanced layer ration, it can help maintain energy levels and encourage natural foraging behaviour.
