wheat<\/span><\/b> (<\/span>triticum aestivum<\/em>) is often used in poultry diets in western canada and parts of europe. the husk of wheat detaches from the grain during threshing (in conventional barley and oats, the husk remains attached), reducing the grain’s fiber content. the energy content of wheat is 94% to 96% that of corn. wheat is higher in protein and the amino acids lysine and tryptophan than corn. wheat contains gluten, which is advantageous in the making of pellets because it eliminates the need for pellet binders.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
