Research Progress on Nutritional Value of Wheat Bran and Its Application in Pig and Poultry Production
Wheat bran,with its high content of crude protein and fiber,is a common source of energy,protein and fiber in livestock and poultry diets.In actual production,wheat bran can replace some corn and soybean meal in pig and poultry diets.However,due to different varieties,sources,processing methods and contents of anti-nutritional factors,wheat bran has great variation in nutritional value,which will affect the precise formu-lation of pig and chicken diets.Therefore,the nutritional value and anti-nutritional factor contents of wheat bran and its application in pig and chicken diets were reviewed in this paper,so as to provide reference for ra-tional application of wheat bran[Chinese Journal of Animal Nutrition,2024,36(7):4172-4182]
