New wheat bran works well as livestock feed after alkaline treatment

Edible Gardening 0 views
As soon as wheat is harvested and threshed, there is new wheat bran to feed livestock (cattle, horses, donkeys and mules). Many farmers are used to feeding new wheat bran directly to livestock, but this feeding method is actually not good. Because when livestock eat untreated new wheat bran, the oral mucosa is often punctured by the wheat awns and becomes inflamed. Therefore, when using new wheat bran to feed livestock, it must first be soaked in 0.3%-0.5% quicklime water for 4 hours to alkalize and soften the new wheat bran, and then rinsed with clean water before feeding. In this way, livestock not only avoid mouth punctures when eating it, but also digest it easily, gain calcium

For something so simple and easy to do that also benefits livestock, why would we not do it?
