Wheat Straw

Wheat straw, the stalk left over after wheat grains are harvested, is a valuable by-product of wheat farming. It is widely used as animal bedding due to its absorbency and insulation properties, providing a comfortable and dry environment for livestock. Wheat straw is also used as a feed additive for ruminants, offering a source of roughage necessary for proper digestion. Additionally, it serves as a sustainable material in the production of biofuels, paper, and eco-friendly packaging. Its use in agriculture extends to soil amendment, where it can enhance soil structure, promote water retention, and contribute to the health of crops as a mulch or component in compost.
