Chaffing results in a fibrous flake approximately 2cm in width. Wheaten chaff is used as a source of fibre (roughage) in the diet.

Wheaten chaff is widely used in horse and stud cattle rations and on occasion feedlot rations. Although it usually becomes cost prohibitive to include in feedlot rations.

Wheaten chaff can be included in diets for breeding pigs as a source of fibre. Only a small percentage would be required.
