Wheat Bran

A lightweight, high-fiber dietary supplement derived from the outer layer of the wheat kernel. Wheat Bran is a traditional favorite for promoting digestive regularity, creating warm “comfort mashes,” and adding essential bulk to livestock rations.

Description

Wheat Bran is produced during the milling process when the outer shell of the wheat grain is separated from the flour. It is a flaky, palatable, and highly absorbent ingredient that is prized for its “bulking” properties. Because it can hold large amounts of water, it is the primary choice for creating hydrated mashes that help keep animals hydrated and their digestive tracts moving.

Commonly referred to as a “laxative feed,” it is often used for horses and cattle during periods of inactivity, following a taxing event, or for gestating females near calving or foaling. Beyond its digestive benefits, Wheat Bran is a rich source of Phosphorus and B-vitamins. Its light, airy texture makes it an excellent “carrier” for liquid supplements or powdered medications that animals might otherwise pick around.

  • 100% Pure Wheat Bran

  • Horses: Feed 1 to 2 lbs as a “mash” once or twice a week. Mix with warm water until it reaches the consistency of oatmeal.

  • Dairy & Beef Cattle: Incorporate into a grain mix at 10% to 25% to add bulk and improve the texture of the feed.

  • Sheep & Goats: Feed as a supplement to help prevent constipation, especially for animals kept in stalls or pens with limited movement.

  • Poultry: Can be used in small amounts (5% to 10% of ration) to add fiber to the diet.

  • Calcium/Phosphorus Note: Wheat Bran is very high in phosphorus. When feeding regularly, ensure the diet is balanced with a high-calcium source (like Alfalfa or a mineral supplement) to maintain a proper ratio.

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Bran can absorb moisture easily, so keep it in a sealed container to prevent clumping or mold.

Products FAQ

Does Wheat Bran actually help prevent colic?

While it is a traditional “preventative,” its main benefit is providing hydration and fiber. A wet bran mash is a great way to ensure a horse is getting extra water, which is a key factor in preventing impaction colic.

It is best used as a supplement. Because it is high in phosphorus and low in calcium, feeding large amounts daily can cause a mineral imbalance. If fed daily, ensure you are balancing the minerals with your veterinarian or nutritionist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the product.

Calves can be introduced to 16% Calf Creep Feed as early as 4 to 6 weeks of age, once they begin showing interest in nibbling solid feed. Early exposure helps calves gradually adapt from a milk-based diet to grain and forage, supporting proper rumen development. Starting creep feed early can also reduce stress at weaning and encourage steady growth, especially when pasture quality is declining or milk production from the cow begins to drop.

I source my grain for animal and livestock feeds based on local suppliers. Often, I purchase directly from local farmers, especially if they produce seasonal crops. Additionally, I buy high-quality feed from larger agricultural supply companies when necessary to meet the specific needs of my animals.

To check the freshness of your feed product, start by examining its smell, as fresh feed usually has a natural, earthy scent. If it smells sour or musty, it could indicate spoilage. Next, check the appearance for any discoloration, mold, or clumping, which may suggest exposure to moisture. Feel the feed to ensure it’s not damp, as excess moisture can promote mold growth. Always check the expiration date, if available, and ensure the feed has been stored properly in a cool, dry place. Finally, look out for pests, as their presence is a clear sign of compromised feed. Regular checks and proper storage will help maintain the feed’s freshness and nutritional value.

Vital Signs in Horses

As a horse owner, you are the first line of defense. While your vet is the expert, you are the one who knows your horse’s “normal.” In an emergency, being able to provide accurate vitals can save your vet time and potentially save your horse’s life.

Horse Cooling Tips

When the humidity rises and the sun beats down, horses feel the heat just as much as we do—if not more. Because horses are large-bodied animals with heavy muscle mass, they generate a massive amount of internal heat, especially during work.

A Guide to Body Condition Scoring Your Horse

When it comes to horse health, “looking good” is subjective. One rider’s “fit” is another’s “thin,” and what looks like a “healthy curve” might actually be a metabolic red flag.

Body Condition Scoring Your Horse

Ever looked at your horse and wondered if that “roundness” is healthy muscle or a few too many flakes of alfalfa? While we all love a “shiny” horse, there is a fine line between well-covered and overweight.
