WHEATEN HAY
A Valuable Feed for Livestock
Wheaten hay is a versatile and nutrient-rich option for livestock. Whether you’re after awnless (beardless) wheaten hay or the traditional awned (bearded) wheaten hay, both types offer excellent benefits for cattle, sheep, and horses. Let’s dive into the key differences and uses for these hay varieties.
Awnless (Beardless) Wheaten Hay
Awnless wheaten hay refers to wheat hay without the long, bristly "whiskers" (or "awns") on the wheat grains. While some may still have a few, they are usually weak and break off during baling. This variety of hay is popular because it’s softer and safer for younger or sensitive animals. It’s ideal for livestock that need a clean, easy-to-consume feed without the risk of sharp bristles.
Awned (Bearded) Wheaten Hay
Awned wheaten hay, also known as bearded wheaten hay, still retains the characteristic bristles on the grains. While these can add fibre, they may cause discomfort for younger animals as they can be sharp. If you’re feeding younger or more sensitive animals, it’s best to opt for the awnless variety. However, awned hay can be perfect for older livestock or those that require more fibre.
Why Choose Wheaten Hay?
Wheaten hay is widely used across Australia for feeding livestock. It’s known for being high in fibre, protein, and energy, making it ideal for cattle, sheep, and horses. Whether it's wheaten hay stubble after harvest or freshly baled hay, it provides excellent roughage, promotes healthy digestion, and helps maintain body condition.
Wheaten hay can also be a cost-effective option, especially when pasture quality is low. It's commonly used in feedlots and during droughts to ensure animals stay well-nourished. The high energy content of wheaten hay makes it a great addition to feed rations, especially for cattle in the finishing phase.
Sustainability and Agriculture
In addition to being a nutritious livestock feed, wheaten hay plays a role in sustainable agriculture. Wheat is often part of crop rotation, and after grain harvesting, the leftover stubble can help suppress weeds, improve soil health, and reduce runoff. Wheaten stubble is also a valuable resource, providing forage for livestock after harvest.
Nutritional Benefits of Wheaten Hay
- Energy: Wheaten hay has a moderate to high energy content, making it suitable for finishing cattle or lactating cows.
- Protein: With an average crude protein of 7-10%, wheaten hay provides a solid protein source for growing or mature animals.
- Fibre: The hay’s fibre content is essential for digestion, especially in ruminants.
