Wheat Straw
Wheat straw hay, an agricultural by-product, serves as a valuable source of animal fodder, commonly referred to as loose straw bales. Once the seeds and grains have been separated from the straw for human consumption, the leftover straw undergoes a preservation process, transforming it into forage for animals and even for mushroom tissue culture.
In many Asian countries and beyond, this straw serves as a staple feed for animals, forming an essential part of their diets. Even in some regions of Europe, it’s a traditional feed for farm animals, making it a critical component of their nutrition.
Agrocroft and Wheat Straw
At Agrocroft International, we play a pivotal role in exporting high-quality Wheat straw from Pakistan. We offer the finest Wheat straw hay for export, with protein content ranging from 6 to 8% and fiber content varying from 25 to 65%. Our Wheat straw undergoes rigorous testing at a feed laboratory and is balanced for ration to meet the dietary needs of farm animals at each stage.
In general, Wheat straw and hay offer better feed quality than many other types of straw, and at Agrocroft, we take pride in offering Wheat straw that surpasses the quality available in the market. We also deal in Year-old straw, which is often found to be more palatable than fresh Wheat straw. Agrocroft International is a prominent Wheat waste supplier in Pakistan, and our straws boast higher levels of protein and energy than many other straw bales. They are highly palatable and have been used successfully by cattle producers over the years.
AGROCROFT WHEAT STRAW AND ITS USAGE
Wheat straw is a valuable addition to the feeding program, particularly during the second trimester of pregnant cows. During this stage, their requirements for protein and energy are significantly lower than in late pregnancy and early lactation. Importers often opt for bulk straw, as a single bundle or bale of Wheat straw can serve for an extended period.
The stage of maturity at harvest determines the nutritional content of the straw. Generally, earlier harvesting results in higher energy and protein content, as well as improved digestibility and palatability. A cow typically requires two hay bales to be fed over a two-week period.
Agrocroft’s Wheat straw waste is an effective farm animal feed that can be incorporated into any wintering program. However, additional energy and protein need to be supplemented to prevent nutritional deficiencies and ensure the dietary requirements of the animals are met. Purchase hay bales from Agrocroft International to address the nutritional needs of your farm animals.
Agrocroft’s Wheat straw waste can constitute up to 75% of a cow’s diet if appropriately supplemented. This straw digests at a slower rate than other types of hay, allowing cows to consume less straw. The general rule of thumb is a maximum intake of 1.25% of her body weight in hay daily.
PROCESSING OF WHEAT STRAW AT AGROCROFT
Processing of Wheat straw at Agrocroft increases a cow’s daily intake. However, additional protein and energy supplementation remain necessary. It’s worth noting that farm animal intake decreases by approximately 12% during the late stages of gestation.
COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTION
A cow’s ability to consume bulky feed is reduced during the late stages of gestation due to the space occupied by calves in her abdominal cavity. An economical feeding program can be devised using straw bales as a significant portion of the roughage source.
At Agrocroft International, we consider all factors to produce high-quality animal forage, be it long Wheat straw or Rhodes Grass Hay, among others. Our primary objective is to offer the best-quality, cost-effective Wheat straw for animals. So, if you’re searching for hay suppliers near you to buy bulk Wheat straws, feel free to contact us.
Fill a jug of water and put it in the fridge for when you want a cool drink. Turn off the tap when you clean your teeth. A running tap uses up to nine litres of water a minute. Wait until you have a full load before using your washing machine or your dishwasher.
Prioritizing water management helps you eliminate water waste and keep your water infrastructure operating in peak condition. Using water efficiently decreases your water bill, and there are several other ways it drives down water-related costs.
Most farmers use drip irrigation to save water. Although it is already a considerable improvement over traditional flood irrigation, there is still room for improvement. Instead of a water outlet on the surface, the new “System of Water for Agriculture Rejuvenation” (SWAR) technology provides underground irrigation
Our main sources of water for drinking, washing, agriculture and industry are surface water, groundwater and collected rainwater, all of which are dependent on rain and snow falling on the Earth's surface.
