Expert Response

Wheat pollard is a finely milled blend of bran and wheat middlings. Both wheat bran and pollard are by-products of flour milling. The composition will depend on the type of wheat and source. I see that you are from outside the US. The values may be very different from that of the U.S., including the proportions of bran and middlings included in the final product.

It is impossible to formulate a feed without knowing the type of chickens, stage of production, and all the feed ingredients available (and their nutritional profiles). Send me your email and I'll send you a spreadsheet that might help you. <personal data hidden>
