• Wheatfeed Pellets are available all year round, UK wide as bulk tipped or blown loads. They tend to be
particularly good value in the summer months when Sugar Beet feed can be scarce.

• Like all dry feeds, they should be stored in a secure shed, bunker, bin or hopper and kept cool, dry and free from vermin.

• Wheatfeed Pellets are unsuitable for long-term storage.

• Occasionally, due to the addition of water at the pelleting stage, traces of mould can appear on the outside of the pellets; mouldy material should not be
fed to livestock.

A co-product from flour milling, Wheatfeed Pellets comprise of the wheat bran, endosperm, and other
starch screenings from the process.
