Cereal Straw

Cereal Straw

Cereal straw is mainly constituted by stalks and dry leaves of different varieties of plants grown for grain. It is characterized by being a fibrous product.

 

The nutritional value of the wheat straw is very low, however it must be provided in the diet of the animals because of its high fiber content and it is especially recommended for those animals that present a nervous behavior and for those who ask to be fed more frequently.

 

Animals require good quality fiber sources for a good health. The best and the most digestive sources have long stems, which favor rumination and a better digestion.
