Where there is no wheat pollard for chicken feeds



Advise on;
-the alternative to wheat pollard.

-changing poultry bedding to avoid too much dust.

Wheat by-products mainly supply energy. Alternatives to wheat pollard include other cereal products such as barley, maize germ, maize bran, whole maize seed, wheat bran and rice pollard.

Dust in litter can be reduced by airing it before use. Wood shavings rather than saw dust are recommended for use in poultry deep litter systems. The shavings are less dusty and young chicks will not consume them. 

Furthermore, avoiding dampness in the poultry house and regular turning of the litter may effectively eliminate the need to change litter before the flock exits the house at the end of production or during point of sale.
